This task is to match Name::compare with std::string::compare (for partial name comparison):

class Name
{
public:
  /** \brief indicates "until the end" in getSubName and compare
   */
  static const size_t npos;

  /** \brief compares [pos1 ,pos1+count1) components in this Name to all components in \p other
   *
   *  This is equivalent to this->getSubName(pos1, count1).compare(other);
   */
  int
  compare(size_t pos1, size_t count1, const Name& other);

  /** \brief compares [pos1, pos1+count1) components in this Name to [pos2, pos2+count2) components in \p other
   *
   *  This is equivalent to this->getSubName(pos1, count1).compare(other.getSubName(pos2, count2));
   */
  int
  compare(size_t pos1, size_t count1, const Name& other, size_t pos2, size_t count2 = npos);
}
