Convert a utf-8 string to ucs-2.

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

Header file

Defined in SDL3/SDL_stdinc.h

Overview

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.

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.

From libsdl3-doc 3.2.10+ds-1 in Debian 13 (Trixie). Parsed by carta from the page's man source.
