Question

I have problem with unicode functions under my Ubuntu 10.10 linux. Lot of unicode functions doesn’t work correctly. When I try following simple code:

#include <wchar.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    wprintf(L"test %s %s %s\n",L"one",L"two",L"three");
    return 0;
}

and compile using g++ (gcc version 4.4.5 Ubuntu/Linaro 4.4.4.-14ubuntu5) a have following results:

test o t t

instead of expected:

test one two three

Also other functions for working with unicode strings doesnt work correctly. Lot of my code I developing under MS Windows and this is my first linux programming atempts.

(Same bug appears on two linux machines where I tested this fragment)

Thank you for any advice.

Answer 1

You want %ls instead, as given in the wprintf(3) man page.
