试试这个函数吧。

string toLowerCase(string str) {

    int str_len = str.length();

    string final_str = "";

    for(int i=0; i<str_len; i++) {

        char character = str[i];

        if(character>=65 && character<=92) {

            final_str += (character+32);

        } else {

            final_str += character;

        }

    }

    return final_str;

}

我尝试了std::transform，我得到的是可恶的stl criptic编译错误，只有200年前的德鲁伊才能理解(不能从flibidi flabidi流感转换)

这工作得很好，可以很容易地调整

string LowerCase(string s)
{
    int dif='a'-'A';
    for(int i=0;i<s.length();i++)
    {
        if((s[i]>='A')&&(s[i]<='Z'))
            s[i]+=dif;
    }
   return s;
}

string UpperCase(string s)
{
   int dif='a'-'A';
    for(int i=0;i<s.length();i++)
    {
        if((s[i]>='a')&&(s[i]<='z'))
            s[i]-=dif;
    }
   return s;
}

看看优秀的c++17 cppp -unicodelib (GitHub)。它是单文件且只包含头文件。

#include <exception>
#include <iostream>
#include <codecvt>

// cpp-unicodelib, downloaded from GitHub
#include "unicodelib.h"
#include "unicodelib_encodings.h"

using namespace std;
using namespace unicode;

// converter that allows displaying a Unicode32 string
wstring_convert<codecvt_utf8<char32_t>, char32_t> converter;

std::u32string  in = U"Je suis là!";
cout << converter.to_bytes(in) << endl;

std::u32string  lc = to_lowercase(in);
cout << converter.to_bytes(lc) << endl;

输出

Je suis là!
je suis là!

如果字符串包含ASCII范围之外的UTF-8字符，则boost::algorithm::to_lower将不会转换这些字符。当涉及UTF-8时，最好使用boost::locale::to_lower。参见http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_51_0/libs/locale/doc/html/conversions.html

为ASCII字符串to_lower添加了一些可选库，它们都是生产级的，并进行了微优化，预计会比这里现有的答案更快(TODO:添加基准测试结果)。

Facebook的愚蠢:

void toLowerAscii(char* str, size_t length)

谷歌的绳降：

void AsciiStrToLower(std::string* s);

由于没有一个答案提到即将到来的Ranges库，它从c++ 20开始就在标准库中可用，目前在GitHub上单独可用为range-v3，我想添加一种使用它执行转换的方法。

就地修改字符串:

str |= action::transform([](unsigned char c){ return std::tolower(c); });

生成一个新的字符串:

auto new_string = original_string
    | view::transform([](unsigned char c){ return std::tolower(c); });

(不要忘记#include <cctype>和所需的Ranges头。)

注意:使用unsigned char作为lambda的参数是受cppreference的启发，它声明:

Like all other functions from <cctype>, the behavior of std::tolower is undefined if the argument's value is neither representable as unsigned char nor equal to EOF. To use these functions safely with plain chars (or signed chars), the argument should first be converted to unsigned char: char my_tolower(char ch) { return static_cast<char>(std::tolower(static_cast<unsigned char>(ch))); } Similarly, they should not be directly used with standard algorithms when the iterator's value type is char or signed char. Instead, convert the value to unsigned char first: std::string str_tolower(std::string s) { std::transform(s.begin(), s.end(), s.begin(), // static_cast<int(*)(int)>(std::tolower) // wrong // [](int c){ return std::tolower(c); } // wrong // [](char c){ return std::tolower(c); } // wrong [](unsigned char c){ return std::tolower(c); } // correct ); return s; }
