2.44 wcstoull—wide string to unsigned long long

Synopsis

     #include <wchar.h>
     unsigned long long wcstoull(const wchar_t *s, wchar_t **ptr,
         int base);
     
     unsigned long long _wcstoull_r(void *reent, const wchar_t *s,
         wchar_t **ptr, int base);
     

Description
The function wcstoull converts the wide string *s to an unsigned long long. First, it breaks down the string into three parts: leading whitespace, which is ignored; a subject string consisting of the digits meaningful in the radix specified by base (for example, 0 through 7 if the value of base is 8); and a trailing portion consisting of one or more unparseable characters, which always includes the terminating null character. Then, it attempts to convert the subject string into an unsigned long long integer, and returns the result.

If the value of base is zero, the subject string is expected to look like a normal C integer constant: an optional sign (+ or -), a possible 0x indicating hexadecimal radix or a possible <0> indicating octal radix, and a number. If base is between 2 and 36, the expected form of the subject is a sequence of digits (which may include letters, depending on the base) representing an integer in the radix specified by base. The letters az (or AZ) are used as digits valued from 10 to 35. If base is 16, a leading 0x is permitted.

The subject sequence is the longest initial sequence of the input string that has the expected form, starting with the first non-whitespace character. If the string is empty or consists entirely of whitespace, or if the first non-whitespace character is not a permissible digit, the subject string is empty.

If the subject string is acceptable, and the value of base is zero, wcstoull attempts to determine the radix from the input string. A string with a leading 0x is treated as a hexadecimal value; a string with a leading 0 and no x is treated as octal; all other strings are treated as decimal. If base is between 2 and 36, it is used as the conversion radix, as described above. Finally, a pointer to the first character past the converted subject string is stored in ptr, if ptr is not NULL.

If the subject string is empty (that is, if *s does not start with a substring in acceptable form), no conversion is performed and the value of s is stored in ptr (if ptr is not NULL).

The alternate function _wcstoull_r is a reentrant version. The extra argument reent is a pointer to a reentrancy structure.


Returns
wcstoull returns 0 and sets errno to EINVAL if the value of base is not supported.

wcstoull returns the converted value, if any. If no conversion was made, 0 is returned.

wcstoull returns ULLONG_MAX if the magnitude of the converted value is too large, and sets errno to ERANGE.


Portability
wcstoull is ANSI.

wcstoull requires no supporting OS subroutines.
