mblen function always returns 0

[augiedoggie]

The mblen function is supposed to return the number of bytes for a specific character but it is always returning 0. I am attaching a simple program that runs fine on linux and OSX(i.e. it returns 1). You sould be able to compile it and then run:

./mbtest a

or

./mbtest 1

or

./mbtest whatever

Unfortunately I don't know enough about setting locales and character conversion to provide a better report.

Duplicate of ticket #1881 and #1855, none of these functions will work correctly until glibc's wide character support is correctly handled.
