Comment:
I've attached a tentative patch, which goes at least part of the way towards
resolving this issue. When I run my previous test case under wine-4.18, on my
Manjaro Linux box, I see:
$ mingw32-g++ tc39687.cc
$ LC_CTYPE="en_GB.65001" ./a.exe | cat
Locale: English_United Kingdom.Multibyte string: A wstring-ß水𝄋
Length, including '\0': 20
which is consistent with the behaviour I observe from my original (native) GNU/
Linux test.
(Note that I have to give the LC_CTYPE spec in a mixed Linux/Microsoft format,
because wine's use of libfontconfig raises complaints about a Microsoft-style
language_region part, but not the .codeset part, which I do, currently, need to
give as a Microsoft codepage number; the output from wine is piped through cat
because wine, itself, garbles the display of non-ASCII UTF-8 code points, when
the output is direct to the UTF-8 encoded terminal, whereas cat reads the
correctly formatted UTF-8 output stream, and subsequently displays it
correctly).

Ticket details:
I'm using MinGW-gcc-6.3.0. The wcsrtombs() function as mentioned in the docs on
cppreference should return the number of bytes that would have been written to
src. However it doesn't do so on my end. It seems the implementation doesn't
ignore the length parameter when dest is passed as NULL? A similar issue was
reported and presumably fixed for the Mingw-w64 on the sourceforge site
Currently working around by passing INT_MAX as the length parameter, so it
finishes within the limit and returns the size.
I apologize in advance if this is just an issue from my end or if any other
info is missing. First time submitting a ticket :)
