wcwidth issue on HP-UX: Internationalization and Localization Issue on HP-UX

[manyak]

Following program returns incorrect values {-1,0,-1} on HPUX whereas if I run the same program on Linux it works correctly for the locale "de_DE.iso885915@euro". Is there any issue with HPUX wcwidth, iswprint and wcswidth. If so, which patch contains the fix for this issue.

int main () 
{
    wchar_t str[2];
    wchar_t ch =8364;/* Euro sign */

    str[0]= ch;
    str[1]='\0';

    /* Locale set to de_DE.iso885915@euro before running this program */
    setlocale(LC_ALL,"");

    printf ("%d\n", wcwidth(ch));
    printf ("%d\n", iswprint(ch));
    printf ("%d\n", wcswidth(str,2));

    return0; 
}

Your Euro sign (L'\x20ac') seems to only work for *.utf8 locales.
