byte_string to_bytes( Elem wchar ); | (1) | |
byte_string to_bytes( const Elem* wptr ); | (2) | |
byte_string to_bytes( const wide_string& wstr ); | (3) | |
byte_string to_bytes( const Elem* first, const Elem* last); | (4) |
Performs wide to multibyte conversion, using the codecvt facet supplied at construction.
wchar as if it was a string of length 1, to byte_string.wptr, to byte_string.str to byte_string.[first, last) to byte_string.In all cases, the conversion begins in initial shift state, unless non-initial starting state was provided to this wstring_convert constructor. The number of characters converted and the final value of the conversion state are remembered and can be accessed with state() and converted().
Return value
A byte_string object containing the results of the wide to multibyte conversion. If the conversion failed and there was a user-supplied byte-error string provided to the constructor of this wstring_convert, returns that byte-error string.
Exceptions
If this wstring_convert object was constructed without a user-supplied byte-error string, throws std::range_error on conversion failure.
Example
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <locale>
#include <codecvt>
#include <iomanip>
// utility function for output
void hex_print(const std::string& s)
{
std::cout << std::hex << std::setfill('0');
for(unsigned char c : s)
std::cout << std::setw(2) << static_cast<int>(c) << ' ';
std::cout << std::dec << '\n';
}
int main()
{
// wide character data
std::wstring wstr = L"z\u00df\u6c34\U0001d10b"; // or L"zĂć°´đ"
// wide to UTF-8
std::wstring_convert<std::codecvt_utf8<wchar_t>> conv1;
std::string u8str = conv1.to_bytes(wstr);
std::cout << "UTF-8 conversion produced " << u8str.size() << " bytes:\n";
hex_print(u8str);
// wide to UTF-16le
std::wstring_convert<std::codecvt_utf16<wchar_t, 0x10ffff, std::little_endian>> conv2;
std::string u16str = conv2.to_bytes(wstr);
std::cout << "UTF-16le conversion produced " << u16str.size() << " bytes:\n";
hex_print(u16str);
}Output:
UTF-8 conversion produced 10 bytes: 7a c3 9f e6 b0 b4 f0 9d 84 8b UTF-16le conversion produced 10 bytes: 7a 00 df 00 34 6c 34 d8 0b dd
