yes, allocator is part of the type.

however...

1. you can use strings with polymorphic allocator
2. you can use standard algorithms
3. you can use strcmp() - my favourite option but I like low lever stuff.
4. with cpp17 you can convert string to string view then compare string
view's - convertion will be removed from the optimizer and you will get
strcmp() under the hood.
5. with cpp11 you can grab a class like string view and use it.

not be the newest version i did)

if you have lots of same comparissons, you can also do custom operator ==
or whatever you need - or with cpp20 you can do tie fighter <=≥ (spaceship
operator)

Let me know I can show you some examples if you want, just tell me you want
equality or greater / less comparisson.
