Boost包含一个方便的算法:

#include <boost/algorithm/string.hpp>
// Or, for fewer header dependencies:
//#include <boost/algorithm/string/predicate.hpp>

std::string str1 = "hello, world!";
std::string str2 = "HELLO, WORLD!";

if (boost::iequals(str1, str2))
{
    // Strings are identical
}

boost的问题在于，你必须与boost相关联并依赖于boost。在某些情况下并不容易(例如android)。

使用char_traits意味着所有的比较都是不区分大小写的，这通常不是你想要的。

这就足够了。它应该是相当有效的。它不处理unicode或任何东西。

bool iequals(const string& a, const string& b)
{
    unsigned int sz = a.size();
    if (b.size() != sz)
        return false;
    for (unsigned int i = 0; i < sz; ++i)
        if (tolower(a[i]) != tolower(b[i]))
            return false;
    return true;
}

更新:c++ 14版本(#include <算法>):

bool iequals(const string& a, const string& b)
{
    return std::equal(a.begin(), a.end(),
                      b.begin(), b.end(),
                      [](char a, char b) {
                          return tolower(a) == tolower(b);
                      });
}

c++ 20版本使用std::ranges:

#include <ranges>
#include <algorithm>
#include <string>

bool iequals(const std::string_view& lhs, const std::string_view& rhs) {
    auto to_lower{ std::ranges::views::transform(std::tolower) };
    return std::ranges::equal(lhs | to_lower, rhs | to_lower);
}

仅供参考，strcmp()和stricmp()容易受到缓冲区溢出的影响，因为它们只处理到遇到空结束符为止。使用_strncmp()和_strnicmp()更安全。

看到std:: lexicographical_compare:

// lexicographical_compare example
#include <iostream>  // std::cout, std::boolalpha
#include <algorithm>  // std::lexicographical_compare
#include <cctype>  // std::tolower

// a case-insensitive comparison function:
bool mycomp (char c1, char c2) {
    return std::tolower(c1) < std::tolower(c2);
}

int main () {
    char foo[] = "Apple";
    char bar[] = "apartment";

    std::cout << std::boolalpha;

    std::cout << "Comparing foo and bar lexicographically (foo < bar):\n";

    std::cout << "Using default comparison (operator<): ";
    std::cout << std::lexicographical_compare(foo, foo + 5, bar, bar + 9);
    std::cout << '\n';

    std::cout << "Using mycomp as comparison object: ";
    std::cout << std::lexicographical_compare(foo, foo + 5, bar, bar + 9, mycomp);
    std::cout << '\n';

    return 0;
}

Demo

我写了一个不区分大小写的char_traits版本，用于std::basic_string，以便在使用内置的std::basic_string成员函数进行比较、搜索等时生成一个不区分大小写的std::string。

换句话说，我想这样做。

std::string a = "Hello, World!";
std::string b = "hello, world!";

assert( a == b );

.．.这是std::string不能处理的。下面是我的新char_traits的用法:

std::istring a = "Hello, World!";
std::istring b = "hello, world!";

assert( a == b );

.．.这是它的实现:

/*  ---

        Case-Insensitive char_traits for std::string's

        Use:

            To declare a std::string which preserves case but ignores case in comparisons & search,
            use the following syntax:

                std::basic_string<char, char_traits_nocase<char> > noCaseString;

            A typedef is declared below which simplifies this use for chars:

                typedef std::basic_string<char, char_traits_nocase<char> > istring;
