Function std.uni.sicmp

Does basic case-insensitive comparison of r1 and r2. This function uses simpler comparison rule thus achieving better performance than icmp. However keep in mind the warning below.

int sicmp(S1, S2) (
  scope S1 r1,
  scope S2 r2
)
if (isInputRange!S1 && isSomeChar!(ElementEncodingType!S1) && isInputRange!S2 && isSomeChar!(ElementEncodingType!S2));

Parameters

NameDescription
r1 an input range of characters
r2 an input range of characters

Returns

An int that is 0 if the strings match, <0 if r1 is lexicographically "less" than r2, >0 if r1 is lexicographically "greater" than r2

Warning

This function only handles 1:1 code point mapping and thus is not sufficient for certain alphabets like German, Greek and few others.

Example

writeln(sicmp("Август", "авгусТ")); // 0
// Greek also works as long as there is no 1:M mapping in sight
writeln(sicmp("ΌΎ", "όύ")); // 0
// things like the following won't get matched as equal
// Greek small letter iota with dialytika and tonos
assert(sicmp("ΐ", "\u03B9\u0308\u0301") != 0);

// while icmp has no problem with that
writeln(icmp("ΐ", "\u03B9\u0308\u0301")); // 0
writeln(icmp("ΌΎ", "όύ")); // 0
