fundamentally there is no good reason these functions need to set an orientation (morally it should be possible to write a wchar_t[] memory stream using byte functions, or a char[] memory stream using wide functions), but it's a part of the specification that they do. aside from being able to inspect the orientation with fwide, failure to set the orientation in open_wmemstream is observable if the locale changes between open_wmemstream and the first operation on the stream; this is because the encoding rule (locale) for the stream is required to be bound at the time the stream becomes wide-oriented. for open_wmemstream, call fwide to avoid duplicating the logic for binding the encoding rule. for open_memstream it suffices just to set the mode field in the FILE struct.
musl libc
musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.
The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.
For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
the project website:
