Hi,
I have some problems to find out what to use instead of the deprecated
toUTF16 function.
I am calling a shared library written in Delphi.
While this coding is working fine (with german ü)
import std.utf: toUTF16;
wstring ws = toUTF16(s);
BSTR bStr = SysAllocStringLen(ws.ptr, cast(UINT) ws.length);
This coding fails to display the german ü correctly:
import std.utf: encode;
wchar[] ws;
s.each!(c => encode(ws, c));
BSTR bStr = SysAllocStringLen(ws.ptr, cast(UINT) ws.length);
Variable s is of type string. On delphi side WideString is used as type
for the string.
Where is the error?
The error is actually in the compiler -- the toUTF16 function you are
calling is NOT being deprecated. But the compiler mistakenly is marking
it as deprecated.
