Hi Mads,
I formatted your matcher a little bit just to understand it:

ifStmt(hasCondition(implicitCastExpr(hasImplicitDestinationType(
isInteger()),
                    has(cxxMemberCallExpr(callee(cxxMethodDecl(hasName("
compare"))),
                                          hasArgument(0,
declRefExpr().bind("str2")),
                                          callee(memberExpr(has(
declRefExpr().bind("str1"))))))))).bind("case1")

And this is the AST part that we care about
|-IfStmt 0x7fba9625f5e8 <line:8:5, line:10:5>
  | |-<<<NULL>>>
  | |-<<<NULL>>>
  | |-ImplicitCastExpr 0x7fba96258a80 <line:8:8, col:25> '_Bool'
<IntegralToBoolean>
  | | `-CXXMemberCallExpr 0x7fba96258a20 <col:8, col:25> 'int'
  | |   |-MemberExpr 0x7fba962589e8 <col:8, col:13> '<bound member function
type>' .compare 0x7fba956ba078
  | |   | `-ImplicitCastExpr 0x7fba96258a50 <col:8> 'const class
std::__1::basic_string<char>' lvalue <NoOp>
  | |   |   `-DeclRefExpr 0x7fba962588e0 <col:8> 'std::string':'class
std::__1::basic_string<char>' lvalue Var 0x7fba962585b8 'str1'
'std::string':'class std::__1::basic_string<char>'
  | |   `-ImplicitCastExpr 0x7fba96258a68 <col:21> 'const class
std::__1::basic_string<char>' lvalue <NoOp>
  | |     `-DeclRefExpr 0x7fba962589b0 <col:21> 'std::string':'class
std::__1::basic_string<char>' lvalue Var 0x7fba96258770 'str2'
'std::string':'class std::__1::basic_string<char>'


The callee called twice seems weird. Try to replace second one with
"onImplicitObjectArgument", or "on", or in the worst case - "has" (which
would not be totally valid).


Piotr.
