Case-insentive

[salvo]

I'm trying to make a case-insensitive class. Here is the code.


=================================Code=================================

#include<bits/char_traits.h>

struct ci_char_traits : public char_traits<char>
{
static bool eq( char c1, char c2 )
{
return toupper(c1) == toupper(c2);
}

static bool lt( char c1, char c2 )
{
return toupper(c1) < toupper(c2);
}

static int compare( const char *s1, const char *s2, size_t n )
{
/*TODO*/
}

static const char* find( const char* s, int n, char a )
{
while( n-- > 0 && toupper(*s) != toupper(a) )
{
++s;
}

return n >= 0 ? s : 0;
}
};

typedef basic_string<char, ci_char_traits> ci_string;

=============================================================

===============================Error==========================
emitrax@freek ~/programming/C++ $ g++ test_ci_string.cc -o test_ci_string

Can anyone help me?

Thanks

You could help us by saying which lines 30, 55 and 57 are.

BTW your use of toupper is incorrect.

toupper(c1)

is incorrect if c1 is negative. You should say

toupper((unsigned char)c1)

Some guesses follow.

=================================Code=================================

#include<bits/char_traits.h>

This is a non-standard header, replace with

> struct ci_char_traits : public char_traits<char>

{
static bool eq( char c1, char c2 )
{
return toupper(c1) == toupper(c2);
}

[snip]

};

typedef basic_string<char, ci_char_traits> ci_string;

typedef std::basic_string<char, ci_char_traits> ci_string;

30--> struct ci_char_traits : public char_traits<char>

50--> typedef basic_string<char, ci_char_traits> ci_string;

Thanks John! I got my code compiled.
Those above were the errors. I had to
put std::char_traits and std::basic_string.
