[Cfp-interest 1469] Re: AI item to submit proposal about why no wide string strfrom functions

[Jim Thomas]

Here’s an update for the code segment:

#include <stdlib.h>

const size_t n = 20;

double d;

…

// convert d to single-byte character string s

char s[n];

int nc = strfromd(s, n, “%g”, d);

// convert s (regarded as a multi-byte character

// string) to wide string ws

wchar_t ws[n];

(void)mbstowcs(ws, s, n);
