I want to convert wstring
to u16string
in C++.
I can convert wstring
to string, or reverse. But I don't know how convert to u16string
.
u16string CTextConverter::convertWstring2U16(wstring str)
{
int iSize;
u16string szDest[256] = {};
memset(szDest, 0, 256);
iSize = WideCharToMultiByte(CP_UTF8, NULL, str.c_str(), -1, NULL, 0,0,0);
WideCharToMultiByte(CP_UTF8, NULL, str.c_str(), -1, szDest, iSize,0,0);
u16string s16 = szDest;
return s16;
}
Error in WideCharToMultiByte(CP_UTF8, NULL, str.c_str(), -1, szDest, iSize,0,0);'s szDest
. Cause of u16string
can't use with LPSTR
.
How can I fix this code?
For a platform-independent solution see this answer.
If you need a solution only for the Windows platform, the following code will be sufficient:
std::wstring wstr( L"foo" );
std::u16string u16str( wstr.begin(), wstr.end() );
On the Windows platform, a std::wstring
is interchangeable with std::u16string
because sizeof(wstring::value_type) == sizeof(u16string::value_type)
and both are UTF-16 (little endian) encoded.
wstring::value_type = wchar_t
u16string::value_type = char16_t
The only difference being that wchar_t
is signed, whereas char16_t
is unsigned so you only have to do sign conversion, which can be performed using the w16string
constructor that takes an iterator pair as arguments. This constructor will implicitly convert wchar_t
to char16_t
.
Full example console application:
#include <windows.h>
#include <string>
int main()
{
static_assert( sizeof(std::wstring::value_type) == sizeof(std::u16string::value_type),
"std::wstring and std::u16string are expected to have the same character size" );
std::wstring wstr( L"foo" );
std::u16string u16str( wstr.begin(), wstr.end() );
// The u16string constructor performs an implicit conversion like:
wchar_t wch = L'A';
char16_t ch16 = wch;
// Need to reinterpret_cast because char16_t const* is not implicitly convertible
// to LPCWSTR (aka wchar_t const*).
::MessageBoxW( 0, reinterpret_cast<LPCWSTR>( u16str.c_str() ), L"test", 0 );
return 0;
}
Update
I had thought the standard version did not work, but in fact this was simply due to bugs in the Visual C++ and libstdc++ 3.4.21 runtime libraries. It does work with clang++ -std=c++14 -stdlib=libc++
. Here is a version that tests whether the standard method works on your compiler:

using std::endl;
using std::exit;
using std::memcmp;
using std::size_t;
using std::wcout;
#if _WIN32 || _WIN64
// Windows needs a little non-standard magic for this to work.
#include <io.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <locale.h>
#endif
using std::size_t;
void init_locale(void)
// Does magic so that wcout can work.
{
#if _WIN32 || _WIN64
// Windows needs a little non-standard magic.
constexpr char cp_utf16le[] = ".1200";
setlocale( LC_ALL, cp_utf16le );
_setmode( _fileno(stdout), _O_U16TEXT );
#else
// The correct locale name may vary by OS, e.g., "en_US.utf8".
constexpr char locale_name[] = "";
std::locale::global(std::locale(locale_name));
std::wcout.imbue(std::locale());
#endif
}
int main(void)

}
out.clear();
out.resize(max_len);

const char32_t* from_u32 = nullptr;
converter_u32.out( state, msg_utf32, msg_utf32+sizeof(msg_utf32)/sizeof(char32_t), from_u32, out.data(), out.data() + out.size(), to_next );
if ( memcmp( msg_utf16, out.data(), max_len ) != 0 ) {

A bit late to the game, but here’s a version that additionally checks whether wchar_t
is 32-bits (as it is on Linux), and if so, performs surrogate-pair conversion. I recommend saving this source as UTF-8 with a BOM. Here is a link to it on ideone.

Footnote
Since someone asked: The reason I suggest UTF-8 with BOM is that some compilers, including MSVC 2015, will assume a source file is encoded according to the current code page unless there is a BOM or you specify an encoding on the command line. No encoding works on all toolchains, unfortunately, but every tool I’ve used that’s modern enough to support C++14 also understands the BOM.
