Re: sorting std::vector<string> ignoring case

I'm sorry for my wrong expression, with 'portable' I wanted to say ANSI compatible. Also I didn't say that the original names has
been removed. They exist yet. Still is valid to use them in VC8 but, like you appointed, they are deprecated.

Regards

Neither function is "portable". The underscore-prefaced name for this
function (and many others) was introduced to move them out of the user
namespace and into the reserved namespace, but I'm not aware that any of
the original names has ever been removed. (VC8 has marked them deprecated,
though.) If anything, the underscored ones are *less* portable, at least
when it comes to standard Unix system functions such as open, close, etc.

P.S. The name "stricmp" doesn't even step into the user namespace, because
names beginning with str[a-z] (and mem[a-z] for that matter) are reserved
in the global namespace.
