digitalmars.D - toString() for wchar*

reply =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Julio_C=E9sar_Carrascal_Urquijo?= writes:
May I suggest adding the following functions to Phobos? I'm using them 
to convert strings from the Unicode versions of the Win32 API.


int strlen(wchar* s)
{
     int len = 0;
     wchar *c = &s[0];
     while (*c++) ++len;
     return len;
}

wchar[] toString(wchar* s)
{
     return s ? s[0 .. strlen(s)] : cast(wchar[])null;
}

This functions were converted from their "char" equivalents in std.string.


Thanks.

What's wrong with wcslen?

Or, if you want an overload,

    int strlen(wchar *s)
    {
        return wcslen(s);
    }

?

Didn't knew it existed! Well I just really need the toString for wchars:

wchar[] toString(wchar* s)
{
     return s ? s[0 .. wcslen(s)] : cast(wchar[])null;
}
