wchar_t support about google-glog HOT 9 OPEN

Will look into this issue after releasing 0.2.

I vote for this too! All new projects in VS9 are anyways have unicode on with 
the 
character type (TCHAR/wchar_t)

Maybe you can just add a header file whose content is

#ifndef WCHAR_LOGGING_H_
#define WCHAR_LOGGING_H_

#include <wchar.h>

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& out, const wchar_t* str) {
  size_t len = wcsrtombs(NULL, &str, 0, NULL);
  char* buf = (char*)malloc(len + 1);
  buf[len] = 0;
  wcsrtombs(buf, &str, len, NULL);
  out << buf;
  free(buf);
  return out;
}

std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& out, const std::wstring& str) {
  return operator<<(out, str.c_str());
}

#endif  // WCHAR_LOGGING_H_

or something for this? If you think it's useful, I'll add this header file into 
glog's package.

i've tried to use this header in my qt project and get linker error:
CMakeFiles/test.dir/myerror.cpp.o: In function 
`operator<<(std::basic_ostream<char,
std::char_traits<char> >&, wchar_t const*)':

including header in logging.h gives me same result.
is there any way to resolve this problem?

Ah, I think I forgot to add "inline" for the two operators.

#ifndef WCHAR_LOGGING_H_
#define WCHAR_LOGGING_H_

#include <wchar.h>

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

inline std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& out, const wchar_t* str) {
  size_t len = wcsrtombs(NULL, &str, 0, NULL);
  char* buf = (char*)malloc(len + 1);
  buf[len] = 0;
  wcsrtombs(buf, &str, len, NULL);
  out << buf;
  free(buf);
  return out;
}

inline std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& out, const std::wstring& str) {
  return operator<<(out, str.c_str());
}

#endif  // WCHAR_LOGGING_H_

Please let me know if this doesn't solve your issue.

Issue 29 has been merged into this issue.

Ok,I try this bug-fix in my vs2008 sp1 project, and it works. well done!

why not merge this in the project?

I got a simmilar problem, with operator ==
The code suggested doesn't fix my problem...
When will google test support wchar/wstring?
I'm using VS2012 ultimate.
