## Detailed Description

### template<typename CharType>
class booster::locale::collator< CharType >

Collation facet.

It reimplements standard C++ std::collate, allowing usage of std::locale for direct string comparison

## Member Typedef Documentation

template<typename CharType >

typedef CharType booster::locale::collator< CharType >::char_type

Type of the underlying character

template<typename CharType >

typedef std::basic_string<CharType> booster::locale::collator< CharType >::string_type

Type of string used with this facet

## Member Function Documentation

template<typename CharType >

int booster::locale::collator< CharType >::compare | ( | level_type | level,
|  | char_type const * | b1,
|  | char_type const * | e1,
|  | char_type const * | b2,
|  | char_type const * | e2
| ) |  | const

inline

Compare two strings in rage [b1,e1), [b2,e2) according using a 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.

| ) |  | 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.

long booster::locale::collator< CharType >::hash | ( | level_type | level,

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

template<typename CharType >

long booster::locale::collator< CharType >::hash | ( | level_type | level,
|  | string_type const & | s

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)

string_type booster::locale::collator< CharType >::transform | ( | level_type | level,
|  | char_type const * | b,
|  | char_type const * | 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

References booster::locale::collator< CharType >::do_transform().

template<typename CharType >

string_type booster::locale::collator< CharType >::transform | ( | level_type | level,
|  | string_type const & | 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 these rules:

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