Convert nsString to wstring
Hi all ! I have a problem with a convert function in my XPCOM
component :
wstring nsTimmy::ConvertToWString(nsString * source)
{
wstring dest;
const PRUnichar *begin, *end;
wchar_t wideChar;
begin = (*source).BeginReading();
end = (*source).EndReading();
while(begin != end)
{
wideChar = (wchar_t)*begin;
dest.append(&wideChar);
++begin;
}
return dest;
}
This function works with Windows and visual studio compiler but not
with linux and GCC 4.1. It builds and doesn't crash at execution but
the characters returned in dest are juste wrong.
Thanks.

Gcc by default uses 4 byte long wchar_t (Mozilla builds with -fshort-wchar to make wchar_t two bytes long). I'm guessing your XPCOM component is using -fshort-wchar but whoever is reading the string on the other end isn't? -- Mook mook dot moz plus bleah

> Is |dest| correct after the first append call? Indeed the problem seems to be here. The first append call is correct but size returned by dest is not. For one characted appended dest.size() return : - 1 for windows - 8 for linux So under linux my wstring contains 1 correct character and then 7 uncorrect character and then 1 correct character...

It'll append everything starting at the pointer you pass it, up to the first null it finds (which will depend on the exact bytes on the stack). Seems to me you either want to use some method that takes wchar_t instead of wchar_t*, or call dest.append(&wideChar, 1); to have it only append a single char. -Boris

Purpose of dev-tech-xpcom
What's the purpose of this list? I used to think it was about XPCOM itself, basically for questions about the code in xpcom/**. However, that doesn't seem to be how everyone else uses it. In fact, it seems to be about all coding questions that are somewhat Firefox- or XULRunner-related. Basically what the platform or extension lists are supposed to be. Should we, therefore, delete this list/newsgroup?

i'm planning to writing an XPCOM component is javascript. 1. how does javascript know to call the NSGetModule() method when a file is loaded. it always does it? 2. if i'm writing some code in c++, i assume i have to compile it for different platforms. does this result in different platform specific extension (.xpi) files or is it one file and the loader figures out the right version (i.e. subfoler) to load based on platform. 3. is there an online source for detailed docs on all the components and interfaces. thx. dashman wrote: > i'm planning to writin...
