dest - pointer to the wide character array to copy to
src - pointer to the null-terminated wide string to copy from

[edit] Return value

dest

[edit] Example

#include #include #include #include   int main() { const wchar_t* src = L"犬 means dog"; // src[0] = L'狗'; // can't modify string literal auto dst = std::make_unique<wchar_t[]>(std::wcslen(src) + 1); // +1 for the null std::wcscpy(dst.get(), src); dst[0] = L'狗'; std::setlocale(LC_ALL, "en_US.utf8"); std::wcout.imbue(std::locale("")); std::wcout << src << '\n' << dst.get() << '\n'; }
