NAME¶

SDL_iconv_utf8_ucs2 - Convert a UTF-8 string to UCS-2.

SYNOPSIS¶

#include <SDL3/SDL_stdinc.h>

#define SDL_iconv_utf8_ucs2(S)      SDL_reinterpret_cast(Uint16 *, SDL_iconv_string("UCS-2", "UTF-8", S, SDL_strlen(S)+1))

DESCRIPTION¶

This is a helper macro that might be more clear than calling SDL_iconv_string directly. However, it double-evaluates its parameter, so do not use an expression with side-effects here.

MACRO PARAMETERS¶

S

the string to convert.

RETURN VALUE¶

Returns a new string, converted to the new encoding, or NULL on error.

AVAILABILITY¶

This macro is available since SDL 3.2.0.
