    /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 to wide character locale1 using setlocale()
    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 to wide character locale2 using setlocale()
    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 that would be occupied
    by full 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 C
    Current category is LC_ALL
    value of wide-character string : .a..
    expected return value : 4
    actual return value : 1

    Review Response
    Subject to the supplier being able to supply a patch fix on this release
    to any customer who encounters this problem, I would recommend that a
    temporary waiver be granted for this minor system fault. It is not
    expected that this will effect many applications, though with the increased
    growth of internationalised applications the effect could be more widespread
    than anticipated.
