CRTL, wcstod
*Conan The Librarian
|
Converts a given wide-character string to a double-precision
number.
Format
#include <wchar.h>
double wcstod (const wchar_t *nptr, wchar_t **endptr);
nptr
A pointer to the wide-character string to be converted to a
double-precision number.
endptr
The address of an object where the function can store the address
of the first unrecognized wide character that terminates the
scan. If endptr is a NULL pointer, the address of the first
unrecognized wide character is not retained.
The wcstod function recognizes an optional sequence of white-
space characters (as defined by iswspace), then an optional plus
or minus sign, then a sequence of digits optionally containing a
radix character, then an optional letter (e or E) followed by an
optionally signed integer. The first unrecognized character ends
the conversion.
The string is interpreted by the same rules used to interpret
floating constants.
The radix character is defined in the program's current locale
(category LC_NUMERIC).
This function returns the converted value. For wcstod, overflows
are accounted for in the following manner:
o If the correct value causes an overflow, HUGE_VAL (with a plus
or minus sign according to the sign of the value) is returned
and errno is set to ERANGE.
o If the correct value causes an underflow, 0 is returned and
errno is set to ERANGE.
If the string starts with an unrecognized wide character, *endptr
is set to nptr and a 0 value is returned.
x The converted string.
0 Indicates the conversion could not be
performed. The function sets errno to one
of:
o EINVAL - No conversion could be performed.
o ERANGE - The value would cause an
underflow.
o ENOMEM - Not enough memory available for
internal conversion buffer.
HUGE_VAL Overflow occurred; errno is set to ERANGE.
