How is it possible to get the same behaviour within an XS function There is https://perldoc.perl.org/perlapi#Character-case-changing . (Maybe other places, too ... but that's the only link I could find quickly.) Cheers, Rob	[reply]

If you're asking how to convert to uppercase from XS, you'd start with an upgraded string, then call `toUPPER_uvchr` or `toUPPER_utf8` repeatedly. (Or call a Perl function that uses `uc`.)	[reply] [d/l] [select]

There is nothing that can affect the behaviour of Perl's `uc` operator in XS code. But you can't use Perl operators in C/XS code anyway.	[reply] [d/l]
