Hello,

 

I try to accomplish the subj with help of boost's utf8_codecvt_facet. I based my code on this example: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_40_0/libs/serialization/doc/codecvt.html .

The only difference is that my utf8 text resides in std::string:

 

#include <sstream>
#include <iostream>
#include "boost/archive/detail/utf8_codecvt_facet.hpp"

// link with boost/libs/serialization/src/utf8_codecvt_facet.cpp

 

int main()

{

 std::string utf;
 utf.resize(11);

 // hardcode some utf8 text
 utf[0] = 0xd7;
 utf[1] = 0x90;
 utf[2] = 0xd7;
 utf[3] = 0x99;
 utf[4] = 0xd7;
 utf[5] = 0x92;
 utf[6] = 0xd7;
 utf[7] = 0x95;
 utf[8] = 0xd7;
 utf[9] = 0xa8;
 utf[10] = 0x0;
 std::locale old_locale;
 std::locale utf8_locale(old_locale, new boost::archive::detail::utf8_codecvt_facet());
 std::locale::global(utf8_locale);
 std::stringstream in;
 in.imbue(utf8_locale);
 in.str(utf);
 std::wstringstream out;
 out << in;
 std::wcout << out.str() << std::endl;
}

 

The above code doesn't work: "out" buffer doesn't contain correct unicode interpretation of the string.

Actually, all i want is a c++ equivalent to the following WinAPI:

 

#include "windows.h"

int main()

{

 

...which works well.

 

Any idea would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks.
