C++ 标准模板库的 std::string 很好很强大，但是并没有提供判断一个字符串是否以另一个字符串开始/结束的接口。这里为 std::basic_string<charT> 提供这两个接口。

//string_predicate.hpp

#include <string>
namespace std {
template <typename charT>
inline bool starts_with(const basic_string<charT>& big, const basic_string<charT>& small) {
    if (&big == &small) return true;
    const typename basic_string<charT>::size_type big_size = big.size();
    const typename basic_string<charT>::size_type small_size = small.size();
    const bool valid_ = (big_size >= small_size);
    const bool starts_with_ = (big.compare(0, small_size, small) == 0);
    return valid_ and starts_with_;
}

template <typename charT>
inline bool ends_with(const basic_string<charT>& big, const basic_string<charT>& small) {
    if (&big == &small) return true;
    const typename basic_string<charT>::size_type big_size = big.size();
    const typename basic_string<charT>::size_type small_size = small.size();
    const bool valid_ = (big_size >= small_size);
    const bool ends_with_ = (big.compare(big_size - small_size, small_size, small) == 0);
    return valid_ and ends_with_;
}
}  // namespace std

用法：

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

#include "string_predicate.hpp"

int main() {
    std::string compared = "Hello world!";
    std::string start    = "Hello";
    std::string end      = "world!";

    std::cout << std::starts_with(compared, start) << std::endl;
    std::cout << std::ends_with(compared, end) << std::endl;

    std::wstring wcompared = L"你好世界";
    std::wstring wstart    = L"你好";
    std::wstring wend      = L"世界";

    std::cout << std::starts_with(wcompared, wstart) << std::endl;
    std::cout << std::ends_with(wcompared, wend) << std::endl;

    return 0;
}

结果：

$ g++ test.cc
$ ./a.out
