C ++对MBCS使用std :: string函数，对UTF-16使用std :: wstring函数

Question

Has anyone dealt with using std::string functions for MBCS? For example in CI could do this:

p = _mbsrchr(path, '\\');

but in C++ I'm doing this:

found = path.find_last_of('\\');

If the trail byte is a slash then would find_last_of stop at the trail byte? Also same question for std::wstring.

If I need to replace all of one character with another, say all forward slashes with backslashes what would be the right way to do that? Would I have to check each character for a lead surrogate byte and then skip the trail? Right now I'm doing this for each wchar:

if( *i == L'/' )
*i = L'\\';

Thanks

Edit: As David correctly points out there is more to deal with when working with multibyte codepages. Microsoft says use _mbclen for working with byte indices and MBCS. It does not appear I can use find_last_of reliably when working with the ANSI codepages.

You don't need to do anything special about surrogate pairs. A single 16 bit character unit that is one half of a surrogate pair, cannot also be a non-surrogate character unit.

So,

if( *i == L'/' )
    *i = L'\\';

is perfectly correct.

Equally you can use find_last_of with wstring .

It's more complicated for multi-byte ANSI codepages. You do need to deal with lead and trail byte issues. My recommendation is to normalise to a more reasonable encoding if you really have to deal with multi-byte ANSI date.
