utf8ToUcs4Fast

fndchar[] utf8ToUcs4Fast(string str)

Convert a string from UTF-8 to a 32-bit fixed width representation as UCS-4, assuming valid UTF-8 input. This function is roughly twice as fast as [glib.global.utf8ToUcs4] but does no error checking on the input. A trailing 0 character will be added to the string after the converted text.

Parameters

stra UTF-8 encoded string

Returns

a pointer to a newly allocated UCS-4 string.

This value must be freed with [glib.global.gfree].
