- Subject: Missing basic wide char/wide string handling functions
Hi,
I'm building an application that needs to handle unicode strings and
therefore need wide char/string handling functions. In gcc, I CAN find the
corresponding CONVERSION functions (e.g., mbstowcs, wcstombs, etc.) but I
CANNOT find the BASIC wide string handling functions, i.e., wcout, wstrcat,
etc. (nor wprintf, etc in the C library).
I've tried building various different versions from source (2.95.3, 3.0,
3.0.1, 3.0.2) and I've also downloaded the pre-built versions from the Sun
freeware site but none of them seem to support these basic functions.
I would be very grateful if someone could let me know if either:
* these functions arent supported
* I need to build/configure gcc some other way to get them
* maybe they have some other slightly different name in gcc(?)
Thanks in advance,
