Synopsis

Defined in header<cwchar>

    std::size_t wcslen(const wchar_t *str);

Returns the length of a wide string, that is the number of non-null wide characters that precede the terminating null wide character.

Example

// Run this code

#include <iostream>

#include <cwchar>

#include <clocale>
int main()

{
    const wchar_t *str = L"爆ぜろリアル！弾けろシナプス！パニッシュメントディス、ワールド！";
    std::setlocale(LC_ALL, "en_US.utf8");
    std::wcout.imbue(std::locale("en_US.utf8"));
    std::wcout << "The length of \"" << str << "\" is " << std::wcslen(str) << '\n';
}

Output:

  The length of "爆ぜろリアル！弾けろシナプス！パニッシュメントディス、ワールド！" is 32
