std::string <-> std::wstring conversion?
Hi, I saw a thread from 4 years ago on this topic here: http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2004/12/77721.php is there any definitive way to go since then? Akos

You can use std::mbstowcs and std::wcstombs (in <cstdlib>). Boris

Boris,

I see. But it doesn't look too elegant, does it, as one has to create an array to convert the characters into, and then initialise std::string or std::wstring with the results, right?
ICU provides some elegant classes (see http://www.icu-project.org/). But depending on what you want to do exactly it might be overkill. Boris

Yes, you're right - ICU is a big dependency, it's an overkill for what I need. Thanks for the pointers.. Akos
