Locale-Sensitive Windows C++ Function
int lstrcmpi(LPCTSTR lpString1, LPCTSTR lpString2);
int lstrcmpiA(LPCSTR lpString1, LPCSTR lpString2);
int lstrcmpiW(LPCWSTR lpString1, LPCWSTR lpString2);
Internationalization (I18n) Function Overview
The lstrcmpi function performs a case-sensitive compare of two null-terminated strings.
It returns zero if the strings are equal, a negative number if lpString1 is less
than lpString2 and a positive number if lpString1 is greater than
lpString2. If one string is a prefix of the other, the longer string is greater than the shorter string.
lstrcmpiA is the narrow version of the function; its arguments and return are single-byte or multibyte strings.
lstrcmpiW is the wide version of the function; its arguments and return are wide-character strings.
See the MSDN Library
for more information.
I18n Issues
lstrcmpi should not be used in an internationalized application because its
comparison relies on a language setting that may differ from the
program's locale. Instead, use CompareString, which
allows a locale to be passed in as an argument.
Recommended Replacements*
Use the Generic version of the function rather than the narrow or wide versions, and let the
Windows #define UNICODE switch determine which version of the function will be called.
Using the Generic version facilitates switching between an MBCS and UTF-16 Unicode application.
*If you're already using the recommended function, see I18n Issues for other reasons why Globalyzer is detecting the function.
