[edit] Parameters
| str | - | pointer to the null-terminated wide string to be examined |
[edit] Return value
The length of the null-terminated wide string str.
[edit] Possible implementation
std::size_t wcslen(const wchar_t* start) { // NB: start is not checked for nullptr! const wchar_t* end = start; while (*end != L'\0') ++end; return end - start; } |
[edit] Example
#include <iostream> #include <cwchar> int main() { const wchar_t* str = L"Hello, world!"; std::wcout << "The length of L\"" << str << "\" is " << std::wcslen(str) << '\n'; }
Output:
The length of L"Hello, world!" is 13

Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
