    Problem Text

    The implementation is in-line with X/Open interpretation request VWG/002/060192.
    X/OPEN RESOLUTION:

    If the first argument is null, the functions should return the length
    required to convert the entire string regardless of the value of the
    third argument, but do not store any values.

    This test has been fixed in the VSX4.2.4 beta update.

    /tset/XPG4.os/string/wcstombs/T.wcstombs 3 Failed

    Test Description:
    When s is a null pointer, then a call to wcstombs(s,pwcs,n) returns
    the number of bytes required to store the converted string, excluding
    the terminating null byte.

    Test Strategy:
    PARENT process will
    CREATE child process using cppair()
    CHILD process will
    SET current locale using setlocale(LC_ALL,VSX4L1)
    VERIFY that wcstombs(NULL, pwcs) returns no. of bytes that would be
    required to store the converted multi-byte string representation of
    pwcs
    SET current locale using setlocale(LC_TIME,VSX4L2)
    VERIFY that wcstombs(NULL, pwcs) returns no. of bytes that would be
    required to store the converted multi-byte string representation of
    pwcs
    SET current locale using setlocale(LC_TIME,VSXWCLOC1)
    VERIFY that wcstombs(NULL, pwcs) returns no. of bytes that would be
    required to store the converted multi-byte string representation of
    pwcs
    SET current locale using setlocale(LC_TIME,VSXWCLOC2)
    VERIFY that wcstombs(NULL, pwcs) returns no. of bytes that would be
    required to store the converted multi-byte string representation of
    pwcs
    OBTAIN a string of wide-characters using wcharstr()
    SET current locale using setlocale(LC_ALL,locp) where locp is the
    locale name set by wcharstr()
    CALL wcstombs(NULL, pwcs, partial-length-of-converted-pwcs)
    VERIFY that wcstombs() returns no. of bytes occupied by partial
    converted multi-byte string
    CALL wcstombs(NULL, pwcs, full-length-of-converted-pwcs)
    VERIFY that wcstombs() returns no. of bytes occupied by full
    converted multi-byte string

    Test Information:
    wcstombs did not return expected value
    Current language is vsxwloc1
    Current category is LC_ALL
    value of wide-character string : 0x 300010a3 100010a3 300010a4 100010a4
    300010a4 100010a4 300010a3 100010a3 300011c1 100011c1 300011c2
    100011c2 300010a2 100010a2 300010a3 100010a3 300010a1 100010a1
    300010a2 100010a2 300011c2 100011c2 300011c1 100011c1 200010a7
    300010a4 100010a5 100010a5
    expected return value : 63
    actual return value : 71
