Convert a String In C++ To Upper Case

Hi, I need a portable function to convert string in c++ to upper case. I'm now using toupper( char); function. Is it a standard function? If not, what it's the correct way to do it across platforms? Btw, is there any web / wiki where I can list all c++ standard functions? Thank you.

Yes, toupper is declared in the cctype header. You can transform a string with an algorithm:

#include <algorithm>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <cctype>

int main()
{
    std::string str("hello there");
    std::cout << str << '\n';

    std::transform(str.begin(), str.end(), str.begin(), std::toupper);
    std::cout << str << '\n';
}

you'll need the scope resolution operator – John Dibling Nov 17 '10 at 13:03
Is there any recommendation when to use toupper(char) and when toupper(char, locale)? – kangcz Nov 17 '10 at 13:09
