std::size_t c16rtomb(char* s,char16_t c16,std::mbstate_t* ps); | (since C++11) | |
Converts a single code point from variable-length 16-bit character representation (typically, UTF-16) to a narrow multibyte character representation.
Ifs is not a null pointer andc16 is the last 16-bit code unit in a valid variable-length encoding of a code point, the function determines the number of bytes necessary to store the multibyte character representation of that code point (including any shift sequences, and taking into account the current multibyte conversion state*ps), and stores the multibyte character representation in the character array whose first element is pointed to bys, updating*ps as necessary. At mostMB_CUR_MAX bytes can be written by this function.
Ifs is a null pointer, the call is equivalent tostd::c16rtomb(buf, u'\0', ps) for some internal bufferbuf.
Ifc16 is not the final code unit in a 16-bit representation of a wide character, it does not write to the array pointed to bys, only*ps is updated.
Ifc16 is the null wide characteru'\0', a null byte is stored, preceded by any shift sequence necessary to restore the initial shift state and the conversion state parameter*ps is updated to represent the initial shift state.
The multibyte encoding used by this function is specified by the currently active C locale.
Contents |
| s | - | pointer to narrow character array where the multibyte character will be stored |
| c16 | - | the 16-bit character to convert |
| ps | - | pointer to the conversion state object used when interpreting the multibyte string |
On success, returns the number of bytes (including any shift sequences) written to the character array whose first element is pointed to bys. This value may be0, e.g. when processing the firstchar16_t in a surrogate pair.
On failure (ifc16 is not a valid 16-bit character), returns-1, storesEILSEQ inerrno, and leaves*ps in unspecified state.
The C++ standard defers to the C standard for the semantics of this function. In C11 as published, unlikestd::mbrtoc16, which converts variable-width multibyte (such as UTF-8) to variable-width 16-bit (such as UTF-16) encoding, this function can only convert single-unit 16-bit encoding, meaning it cannot convert UTF-16 to UTF-8 despite that being the original intent of this function. This was corrected by the post-C11 defect reportDR488.
The example assumes that the fix for thedefect report 488 is applied.
