FW: wide streams and wide strings

["Eric Ray" <ERay at zixit dot com>]

Can anyone please tell me how to get wide string and wide stream support in gcc/g++?

 

I've built gcc with the following

 

../configure --prefix=$HOME/apps --enable-c-mbchar --enable-cxx-flags=-D_GLIBCPP_USE_WCHAR_T --enable-shared

 

and it still will not compile the following code:

 

#include <string>

 

using namespace std;

 

int

main()

{

    wstring s;

    return 0;

}

 

What am I doing wrong?  I'm on day three now and not making any progress (sympathy plea :) )

I've downloaded and built gcc-core-3.0.4 and gcc-g++-3.0.4 as I was informed on the gcc mailing list that this version supported wide strings and wide streams (I was previously using 2.95.3).  After compiling and running this simple test I've found out two things.

 

#include <string>

#include <iostream>  // I think I should include this instead of wiostream

//...

wstring s;

wcout << s << endl;

//...

 

1. The compiler doesn't complain about wstring so I'm assuming I have wide string support.

 

2.  The compiler gives and error on wcout.

 

The error I get is this:

 

'wcout' undeclared (first use this function)

 

 

Can anyone shed some light on what I'm doing wrong?
