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

In article <e7kCsV#kHHA.4876@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>,
chololennon@xxxxxxxxxxx says...
Ok, I understand your "P.S." point. You're right. Only one thing: I didn't
say that _stricmp is ANSI compatible (I'm sorry again if I wasn't very clear
or very specfic). I suggested the use of _stricmp because (like you said) its
name it's conformant with standard (because it's declared inside string.h).

The name stricmp conformed just as well (all names starting with 'str'
are reserved, per section 7.26.11 of the C99 standard, or 7.13.8 of the
original C89/90 standard). Adding the leading underscore accomplished
nothing in this case.
