That seems to be on the right track, since when you actually check the
return code from fputws:
#include <wchar.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void) {
if (fputws(L"[Привет Василий]\n", stdout) == -1) {
perror("fputws");
}
}
you get this:
# ./a
fputws: Illegal byte sequence
I think it is caused by C (or POSIX) locale being default on entry to
main, so you need to actually activate the system locale by calling
setlocale(LC_ALL, "").
Indeed, if you modify the program to:
#include <wchar.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <locale.h>
int main(void) {
setlocale(LC_ALL, "");
if (fputws(L"[Привет Василий]\n", stdout) == -1) {
perror("fputws");
}
}
It starts to work:
# ./a
[Привет Василий]
