about swprintf and _stprintf
Hello everyone,
I find that _stprintf is defined to swprintf. And in the prototype of swprintf, the 1st and the 2nd parameters are both wchar_t. I think the other parameters should also be w_chart type, but in some situations, I always find others use char* type (which seems not unicode character type) as the parameter, like,
--------------------
// buffer is wchar_t* type.
_stprintf (buffer, L"%s", (char*)pointer);
--------------------
Definitions from Microsoft,
--------------------
#define _stprintf swprintf
_CRTIMP int __cdecl swprintf(wchar_t *, const wchar_t *, ...);
--------------------
Can we use char* as the 3rd parameter? If we can, why can it (non-unicode type) be compatible with wchar_t type (unicode type)?
thanks in advance,
George

No, your referemce to Microsoft is not correct.
Correct is:
Quote:
Code:
#ifdef _UNICODE
.....
#define _stprintf swprintf
......
#else /* _UNICODE */
.......
#define _stprintf sprintf

Yes - for _stprintf in a non-unicode build.
No - for _stprintf in an unicode build.

Will there be any errors when UNICODE macro is defined? Could you show me an example please in situation _stprintf (w_char*, L, char*)?

George

Hi, George!
Why don't you want to investigate it yourself? ;)

I am not an expert of unicode handling on VC platform. In my mind, it is not safe to use char* as the 3rd parameter if UNICODE is defined. But you know, I am not sure and can not find an example to show my idea. So, could you please show me an example please? It seems that you are an expert and you like to help others. ;) :thumb:

Thanks VictorN! I got it. I means short of time. It is non-English words. Cool!
