int main(int argc, wchar_t* argv[]) using gcc 3.4.2 .

Vinu

hi
How can i accept unicode char in command line. The application on
Solaris Sparc expects wide characters for its processing

Can you suggest standard way of doing it on Sun Solaris Sparc? We are
using gcc 3.4.2 .

Thanks
Vinu

Use wchar_t (built in type), wcin and wcout (<iostream>) inside the application.
Now there is no standard way for receiving wchar_t from the command line. You will have to
use a system extension for that.

A standard work-around way could be to enter the arguments not from the command line but
from inside the application by using wcin. For example instead of the user entering

../whatever -p he would do:
the program will prompt for them:

../whatever

Please insert parameters:
Just a thought anyway.

I suspect it's less a GCC issue than a Solaris OS issue. Most of
the Sun OS's I've used that could handle Unicode at all have UTF-8
(that is, multibyte 8-bit) representations for Unicdoe on all the
system interfaces (program arguments, file names, ...). This is
fine because C++ is defective in defining wchar_t interfaces for
everything that needs them anyhow.

Use the " main(int, char**)" main signature and convert from
multibyte to wchar_t in main.
