36 -- This package contains the routine used to convert wide strings to
37 -- strings for use by wide character attributes (value, image etc.) and
38 -- also by the numeric IO subpackages of Ada.Text_IO.Wide_Text_IO.
42 package System.WCh_WtS is
43 pragma Pure (WCh_WtS);
45 function Wide_String_To_String
47 EM : System.WCh_Con.WC_Encoding_Method)
49 -- This routine simply takes its argument and converts it to a string,
50 -- using the internal compiler escape sequence convention (defined in
51 -- package Widechar) to translate characters that are out of range
52 -- of type String. In the context of the Wide_Value attribute, the
53 -- argument is the original attribute argument, and the result is used
54 -- in a call to the corresponding Value attribute function. If the method
55 -- for encoding is a shift-in, shift-out convention, then it is assumed
56 -- that normal (non-wide character) mode holds at the start and end of
57 -- the result string. EM indicates the wide character encoding method.
58 -- Note: in the WCEM_Brackets case, we only use the brackets encoding
59 -- for characters greater than 16#FF#.
