Re: [fpc-pascal] string comparison on various platforms
2006/5/3, Marc Santhoff [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi,from digging the sources I know, that on Unix-like Systems thecomparison of strings is done according to the current locale (Pascalsstrcomp is mapped to C-libs strcoll).Can I assume that this is done similar on all other platforms, too? At least where is is possible, I mean where the OS supports locales I'm asking myself if I have to consider something special when sortingstrings or if a comparison using the RTL function will allways becorrect (not talking of special sort orders for rarely occuring cases).Yes, if for any reason you stumble upon a bug it is most probably due to miss configuring the OS locale definitions.-- Geno Roupsky ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

Can I assume that this is done similar on all other platforms, too? At least where is is possible, I mean where the OS supports locales So I can use it the way it is on Windows, FreeBSD, Linux and (I think) MacOS. That's pretty much.

Yes, if for any reason you stumble upon a bug it is most probably due to miss configuring the OS locale definitions. No bug, I'm only planning.
