Iconv calcRequiredSize() fails with multibyte encoding like UTF8





------- Additional Comments From anders.hybertz@mobilecohesion.com  2004-03-17 09:37 -------
I suggest to change it to the following

unsigned int IconvLCPTranscoder::calcRequiredSize(const char* const srcText)
{
    if( !srcText ) return 0;

    unsigned int len( 0 );
    unsigned int size( strlen( srcText ) );

    for( int i = 0; i < size; ++len )
    {
        unsigned int retVal( mblen( &srcText[i], MB_CUR_MAX ) );
        
        if( -1 == retVal ) return 0;
        
        i += retVal
    }
    return len;
}

Which runs over all the chars in he string and count the proper lenght. I'm 
not using mbstowcs because it's not considered to be 100% platform independent.
