Subject: Re: [BUG] swprintf() doesn't handle Unicode characters correctly
Thanks for replying!
That fixed it.
I'm surprised, however, that this is required given that in this case
swprintf() operates on wchars exclusively -- taking wchar arguments and
producing wchar output. I'd expect that in the worst case scenario it would
have to convert from single chars to wide chars, but never the other way
around, so the representation requirement seems strange. That setlocale()
step also doesn't seem to be needed with glibc.
