BUG[1481] : unimplemented function msvcrt.dll._mbsbtype

[Vijay Kiran Kamuju]

Hi,

can we use the reactos implementation of the _mbsbtype?
http://reactos.geldorp.nl/dc/d8d/mbbtype_8c-source.html

Any ReactOS guys, please respond regarding the licensing of the above code?

Thanks,
Vijay

The ReactOS code above at the first glance looks wrong, it doesn't
take current locale into account.

Most of the code in our C Runtime originates from the DJGPP compiler
package. I've checked, the DJGPP libc is LGPL. So I think using this in Wine
should be no problem.

Hi Dimitry,

I think we can use _mbbtype reactos.
And i think according to the documentation
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vccore98/ht...
the _mbbtype does not depend on locale information

bye,
vijay

I believe that the documentation above is misleading. Native msvcrt handles
locale just fine, I don't see why _mbbtype should be an exception. If you
have a test showing another behaviour send it to me, and I'll see how it
behaves on my locale.

Quick question.  Does React OS or DJGPP include a portable
implementation of printf in msvcrt?  I tried looking using your source
browser but I could not tell where it is actually located.

It's in lib/crt/stdio
(http://svn.reactos.com/viewcvs/trunk/reactos/lib/crt/stdio/)
