UnicodeQuery

[rajesh.ba]

Hi ,

I am trying some sample programs with unicode strings.

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <wchar.h>
#include <windows.h>



int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
double* my_len;
wchar_t* my_string = (wchar_t *) malloc(sizeof(wchar_t) *100);
wchar_t* my_string2 = (wchar_t *) malloc(sizeof(wchar_t) *100);

double* my_len1 = (double*)my_string2;

swprintf(my_string,100,L"ABCDEFGH");
my_len = (double*)(my_string);

*(my_len1) = *my_len;

wprintf(L"my string2 is %s\n",my_string2);

wprintf(L"my string is %s\n",my_string);

}

This program gives an output

my string2 is
ABCD??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
????????????????????????????????????
my string is ABCDEFGH


How can i make my_string2 to print "ABCDEFGH"?

Rajesh

So far you have used the non-existant (in standard C) headers
stdafx.h and windows.h, the reserved for the implementation
identifiers _tmain and _TCHAR. This newsgroup deals with the
standard C language, as defined by the various ISO standards, only.

Either confine yourself to standard C, or go to a newsgroup that
deals with your peculiar system.

I don't recognize 'windows.h' and 'wchar.h'. And you haven't shown
what's in "stdafx.h".

Perhaps you should post this in comp.windows.programmer or some such group.

Well, wchar.h is standard as of Amendment 1 to ANSI X3.159-1989. This,
of course, does not address the problem that my_string2 is pointing at
garbage. I admit that I have no clear idea why someone would write code
like this.

code deleted, a few interesting statements left:

double* my_len;
wchar_t* my_string = (wchar_t *) malloc(sizeof(wchar_t) *100);
wchar_t* my_string2 = (wchar_t *) malloc(sizeof(wchar_t) *100);
double* my_len1 = (double*)my_string2;
swprintf(my_string,100,L"ABCDEFGH");
my_len = (double*)(my_string);
*(my_len1) = *my_len;
wprintf(L"my string2 is %s\n",my_string2);
wprintf(L"my string is %s\n",my_string);

my string2 is
ABCD??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

You initialize my_string, then copy sizeof(double)/sizeof(wchar_t)
chars from my_atring into my_string2 without properly terminating it
and leaving the rest uninitialized.

What are you trying to accomplish? If you want to copy strings, look
for a library function that does just that.

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
double* my_len;
wchar_t* my_string = (wchar_t *) malloc(sizeof(wchar_t) *100);
wchar_t* my_string2 = (wchar_t *) malloc(sizeof(wchar_t) *100);

double* my_len1 = (double*)my_string2;

swprintf(my_string,100,L"ABCDEFGH");
my_len = (double*)(my_string);

*(my_len1) = *my_len;

Apart from all other problems, what makes you think using pointers to
double for copying wide character strings is a reasonable thing to do?
