std::size_t strxfrm( wchar_t* dest, const wchar_t* src, std::size_t count ); |
Transforms the null-terminated wide string pointed to by src into the implementation-defined form such that comparing two transformed strings with std::wcscmp gives the same result as comparing the original strings with std::wcscoll, in the current C locale.
The first count characters of the transformed string are written to destination, including the terminating null character, and the length of the full transformed string is returned, excluding the terminating null character.
If count is 0, then dest is allowed to be a null pointer.
Notes
The correct length of the buffer that can receive the entire transformed string is 1+std::wcsxfrm(NULL, src, 0).
Parameters
| dest | - | pointer to the first element of a wide null-terminated string to write the transformed string to |
| src | - | pointer to the null-terminated wide character string to transform |
| count | - | maximum number of characters to output |
Return value
The length of the transformed wide string, not including the terminating null-character.
Example
#include <iostream>
#include <cwchar>
int main()
{
std::setlocale(LC_ALL, "sv_SE.utf8");
std::wstring in1 = L"\u00e5r";
std::wstring out1(1+std::wcsxfrm(nullptr, in1.c_str(), 0), L' ');
std::wstring in2 = L"\u00e4ngel";
std::wstring out2(1+std::wcsxfrm(nullptr, in2.c_str(), 0), L' ');
std::wcsxfrm(&out1[0], in1.c_str(), out1.size());
std::wcsxfrm(&out2[0], in2.c_str(), out2.size());
std::wcout << "In the Swedish locale: ";
if(out1 < out2)
std::wcout << in1 << " before " << in2 << '\n';
else
std::wcout << in2 << " before " << in1 << '\n';
std::wcout << "In lexicographical comparison: ";
if(in1 < in2)
std::wcout << in1 << " before " << in2 << '\n';
else
std::wcout << in2 << " before " << in1 << '\n';
}Output:
In the Swedish locale: år before ängel In lexicographical comparison: ängel before år
