Add in null terminator for outputs in cu_shorten/cu_widen in cute_utf.h about cute_headers HOT 11 CLOSED

Ah yes a while ago I renamed things. The file is cute_utf.h like sro5h mentioned, and the functions are cu_widen and cu_shorten.

https://github.com/RandyGaul/cute_headers/blob/master/cute_utf.h

The widen/shorten functions are used to convert to utf16 and back to utf8 respectively. The docs has some more info on why this conversion is useful (it's just useful for some Windows APIs that need 16-bit characters, aka utf16).

Let me know if you had other questions :)

Also some feedback regarding your example tuWiden functions in #74 (comment)

The 3rd and the 4th functions are likely going to be the most commonly used ones, the others are subsets of the 3rd and 4th function. I would use the 4th function on say, internal strings that I know are safe, but if I need extra validating (example: non-null terminated text from foreign sources) I can use the 3rd function.

Yes of course :)

Did you mean:

if (out < (original_out + out_len)) *out = 0;

?

(added *out instead of just out)

from cute_headers.

yes

Can i do this one?

I can't seem to find tinyutf.h and what are tuShorten/tuWiden functions? do I need to read up something before i attempt to do this?

from cute_headers.

The prefix of the header files changed to cute, so you‘re looking for cute_utf.h. I can‘t help you with your other question.

thanks, is there a way to test or build this once i make the changes?

from cute_headers.

There is a little bit of testing here: https://github.com/RandyGaul/cute_headers/tree/master/test_cute_utf

If you like, you can add more tests in whatever manner you think makes sense. I would be more than happy to incorporate them if you write any down!

from cute_headers.

Closing this out, as it's a bit outdated. I'll continue considering future changes to cute utf though, as it's used in Cute Framework!
