std::wcslen

Defined in header <cwchar>
std::size_t wcslen( const wchar_t* str );

Returns the length of a wide string, that is the number of non-null wide characters that precede the terminating null wide character.

The behavior is undefined if there is no null character in the wide character array pointed to by str.

Parameters

str - pointer to the null-terminated wide string to be examined

Return value

The length of the null-terminated wide string str.

Example

#include <iostream>
#include <cwchar>
#include <clocale>
 
int main()
{
    const wchar_t* str = L"爆ぜろリアル!弾けろシナプス!パニッシュメントディス、ワールド!";
 
    std::setlocale(LC_ALL, "en_US.utf8");
    std::wcout.imbue(std::locale("en_US.utf8"));
    std::wcout << "The length of \"" << str << "\" is " << std::wcslen(str) << '\n';
}

Output:

The length of "爆ぜろリアル!弾けろシナプス!パニッシュメントディス、ワールド!" is 32
