Detailed Description

template<typename CharType>
class boost::locale::collator< CharType >

Collation facet.

It reimplements standard C++ std::collate with support for collation levels

Member Function Documentation

compare() [1/3]

template<typename CharType >

int boost::locale::collator< CharType >::compare ( collate_level  level, const char_type *  b1, const char_type *  e1, const char_type *  b2, const char_type *  e2  ) const

inline

Compare two strings in range [b1,e1), [b2,e2) according to collation level level. Calls do_compare

Returns -1 if the first of the two strings sorts before the seconds, returns 1 if sorts after and 0 if they considered equal.

compare() [2/3]

template<typename CharType >

int boost::locale::collator< CharType >::compare ( collate_level  level, const string_type &  l, const string_type &  r  ) const

inline

Compare two strings l and r using collation level level

Returns -1 if the first of the two strings sorts before the seconds, returns 1 if sorts after and 0 if they considered equal.

compare() [3/3]

template<typename CharType >

int boost::locale::collator< CharType >::compare ( const char_type *  b1, const char_type *  e1, const char_type *  b2, const char_type *  e2  ) const

inline

Default compare function as-in std::collate that does not take collation level into account. Uses identical level

do_compare()

template<typename CharType >

virtual int boost::locale::collator< CharType >::do_compare ( collate_level  level, const char_type *  b1, const char_type *  e1, const char_type *  b2, const char_type *  e2  ) const

protectedpure virtual

Actual function that performs comparison between the strings. For details see compare member function. Can be overridden.

hash() [1/3]

template<typename CharType >

long boost::locale::collator< CharType >::hash ( collate_level  level, const char_type *  b, const char_type *  e  ) const

inline

Calculate a hash of a text in range [b,e). The value can be used for collation sensitive string comparison.

If compare(level,b1,e1,b2,e2) == 0 then hash(level,b1,e1) == hash(level,b2,e2)

Calls do_hash

hash() [2/3]

template<typename CharType >

long boost::locale::collator< CharType >::hash ( collate_level  level, const string_type &  s  ) const

inline

Calculate a hash that can be used for collation sensitive string comparison of a string s

If compare(level,s1,s2) == 0 then hash(level,s1) == hash(level,s2)

hash() [3/3]

template<typename CharType >

long boost::locale::collator< CharType >::hash ( const char_type *  b, const char_type *  e  ) const

inline

Default hash function as-in std::collate that does not take collation level into account. Uses identical level

transform() [1/3]

template<typename CharType >

string_type boost::locale::collator< CharType >::transform ( collate_level  level, const char_type *  b, const char_type *  e  ) const

inline

Create a binary string that can be compared to other in order to get collation order. The string is created for text in range [b,e). It is useful for collation of multiple strings for text.

The transformation follows these rules:

compare(level,b1,e1,b2,e2) == sign( transform(level,b1,e1).compare(transform(level,b2,e2)) );

Calls do_transform

transform() [2/3]

template<typename CharType >

string_type boost::locale::collator< CharType >::transform ( collate_level  level, const string_type &  s  ) const

inline

Create a binary string from string s, that can be compared to other, useful for collation of multiple strings.

The transformation follows this rule:

compare(level,s1,s2) == sign( transform(level,s1).compare(transform(level,s2)) );

transform() [3/3]

template<typename CharType >

string_type boost::locale::collator< CharType >::transform ( const char_type *  b, const char_type *  e  ) const

inline

Default transform function as-in std::collate that does not take collation level into account. Uses identical level
