std::locale::operator()
From cppreference.com
template< class CharT, class Traits, class Alloc >
bool operator()( const std::basic_string<CharT,Traits,Alloc>& s1,
const std::basic_string<CharT,Traits,Alloc>& s2 ) const;
|
||
Compares two string arguments s1 and s2 according to the lexicographic comparison rules defined by this locale's std::collate<CharT> facet. This operator allows any locale object that has a collate facet to be used as a binary predicate in the standard algorithms (such as std::sort) and ordered containers (such as std::set).
Parameters
| s1 | - | the first string to compare |
| s2 | - | the second string to compare |
Return value
true if s1 is lexicographically less than s2, false otherwise.
Possible implementation
template<class CharT, class Traits, class Alloc>
bool operator()(const std::basic_string<CharT,Traits,Alloc>& s1,
const std::basic_string<CharT,Traits,Alloc>& s2) const
{
return std::use_facet<std::collate<CharT>>(*this).compare(
s1.data(), s1.data() + s1.size(),
s2.data(), s2.data() + s2.size()) < 0;
}

Example
A vector of strings can be sorted according to a non-default locale by using the locale object as comparator:
Run this code
#include <algorithm>
#include <cassert>
#include <locale>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
int main()
{
std::vector<std::wstring> v = {L"жил", L"был", L"пёс"};
std::sort(v.begin(), v.end(), std::locale("ru_RU.UTF8"));
assert(v[0] == L"был");
assert(v[1] == L"жил");
assert(v[2] == L"пёс");
}
