------- Comment #15 from luca dot barbieri at gmail dot com 2010-04-08 02:33 ------- Why can't wcout simply convert to the selected encoding, and append the results to the cout buffer, as if the converted string had been directly output to cout?
I'm not sure about the implementation details, but I fail to see how anything could prevent adopting this rather obvious solution. Of course, if cout is in the middle of the byte sequence of a character, this will not result in sensible output, but that is user error and I fail to see how such use could be made meaningful. BTW, doesn't cout share the stdout buffer via the GNU libio FILE/iostream sharing mechanism, making sync_with_stdio do nothing anyway? -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35353
