MLPutUTF32Symbol has been replaced by WSPutUTF32Symbol.

int MLPutUTF32Symbol(MLINK link,const unsigned int *s,int len)

puts a symbol whose name is given by UTF-32 encoded string s with length len to the MathLink connection specified by link.

Details

  • The symbol must be encoded in the UTF-32 character encoding form.
  • The symbol s must start with a byte order mark.
  • The length of the symbol len must include the byte order mark.
  • MLPutUTF32Symbol() returns 0 in the event of an error, and a nonzero value if the function succeeds.
