std::wmemset

wchar_t* wmemset( wchar_t* dest, wchar_t ch, std::size_t count );

Copies the wide character ch into each of the first count wide characters of the wide character array pointed to by dest.

If overflow occurs, the behavior is undefined.

If count is zero, the function does nothing.

Parameters

Return value

Returns a copy of dest.

Notes

This function is not locale-sensitive and pays no attention to the values of the wchar_t objects it writes: nulls as well as invalid wide characters are written too.

Example

#include <iostream>
#include <cwchar>
#include <clocale>
#include <locale>
 
int main()
{
    wchar_t ar[4] = {L'1', L'2', L'3', L'4'};
    std::wmemset(ar, L'\U0001f34c', 2); // replaces [12] with the ???? bananas
    std::wmemset(ar+2, L'蕉', 2); // replaces [34] with the 蕉 bananas
 
    std::setlocale(LC_ALL, "en_US.utf8");
    std::wcout.imbue(std::locale("en_US.utf8"));
    std::wcout << std::wstring(ar, 4) << '\n';
}
