stringw, how to get its guts

kendric · Post by **kendric** » Thu Jul 19, 2007 4:35 pm

Why does stringw have:
c_str
but no
w_str?

How am I supposed to pass its data to a function such as:
font->draw(wchar*....

Whats the point of a wchar wrapper if you can't get to the wchars easily?

I could convert it to a char* and then convert it back to a wchar* with some other function but I would lose all the data that wchar provides wouldn't I?

Am I missing something, I feel so noobish(comming from a java background)

stringw's c_str() method returns a wchar_t*

The C in c_str() relates to the programming language C (as in, C-style string) and is not an abbreviation of char.
