tinyutf.h, declare tuWiden/tuShorten and break from while loop if encountering a null terminator about cute_headers HOT 2 CLOSED

They take a length parameter, is in length of the input buffer or length of the output buffer. They are dead simple wrappers over decode/encode, as in they don't really do anything smart. I'm guessing you passed in input buffer length into the first function and second function, but I wrote the second function that takes an output buffer length and no input length. For the shorten/widen functions, the lengths are associated with the buffers that are in utf8 format, which is confusing and not a great choice... I was probably just focusing really hard on the utf8 part when I wrote them.

Feel free to make your own wrapper function that does specifically what you need :)

Here's an example that works without buffer lengths (didn't test the code, but hopefully it works the way you expected):

void Widen(const char* in, whcar_t* out)
{
	int cp;
	while (*in)
	{
		in = tuDecode8(in, &cp);
		out = tuEncode16(out, cp);
	}
}

After thinking about it, the best approach would probably be to have the header come with a few different kinds of widening functions for people that are dealing with different string formats. Some people just like passing pointers around, and other people like passing pointer + buffer lengths. Maybe like these ones would be good:

void Widen(const char* in, whcar_t* out);
void Widen(const char* in, int in_len, whcar_t* out);
void Widen(const char* in, int in_len, whcar_t* out, int out_len);
void Widen(const char* in, whcar_t* out, int out_len);

OK I'll make these functions and push them out. Thanks for asking @ddengster ! Closing for now, comment away if you wanted to chat more.
