Writing utf16 to file in binary mode

Question

I\'m trying to write a wstring to file with ofstream in binary mode, but I think I\'m doing something wrong. This is what I\'ve tried:

ofstream outFile(\"tes         


        

Answer 1

On windows using wofstream and the utf16 facet defined above fails becuase the wofstream converts all bytes with the value 0A to 2 bytes 0D 0A, this is irrespective of how you pass the 0A byte in, '\x0A', L'\x0A', L'\x000A', '\n', L'\n' and std::endl all give the same result. On windows you have to open the file with an ofstream (not a wofsteam) in binary mode and write the output just like it is done in the original post.
