而不是包括locale和所有那些花哨的东西，如果你知道为FACT你的字符串是可转换的，只需这样做:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
  wstring w(L"bla");
  string result;
  for(char x : w)
    result += x;

  cout << result << '\n';
}

这里有一个活生生的例子

代码有两个问题:

The conversion in const std::string s( ws.begin(), ws.end() ); is not required to correctly map the wide characters to their narrow counterpart. Most likely, each wide character will just be typecast to char. The resolution to this problem is already given in the answer by kem and involves the narrow function of the locale's ctype facet. You are writing output to both std::cout and std::wcout in the same program. Both cout and wcout are associated with the same stream (stdout) and the results of using the same stream both as a byte-oriented stream (as cout does) and a wide-oriented stream (as wcout does) are not defined. The best option is to avoid mixing narrow and wide output to the same (underlying) stream. For stdout/cout/wcout, you can try switching the orientation of stdout when switching between wide and narrow output (or vice versa): #include <iostream> #include <stdio.h> #include <wchar.h> int main() { std::cout << "narrow" << std::endl; fwide(stdout, 1); // switch to wide std::wcout << L"wide" << std::endl; fwide(stdout, -1); // switch to narrow std::cout << "narrow" << std::endl; fwide(stdout, 1); // switch to wide std::wcout << L"wide" << std::endl; }

来自http://forums.devshed.com/c-programming-42/wstring-to-string-444006.html的旧解决方案

std::wstring wide( L"Wide" ); 
std::string str( wide.begin(), wide.end() );

// Will print no problemo!
std::cout << str << std::endl;

更新(2021年):但是，至少在MSVC的最新版本上，这可能会生成wchar_t到char截断警告。警告可以通过使用std::transform代替转换函数中的显式转换来消除，例如:

std::wstring wide( L"Wide" );

std::string str;
std::transform(wide.begin(), wide.end(), std::back_inserter(str), [] (wchar_t c) {
    return (char)c;
});

或者如果你喜欢预分配而不使用back_inserter:

std::string str(wide.length(), 0);
std::transform(wide.begin(), wide.end(), str.begin(), [] (wchar_t c) {
    return (char)c;
});

参见这里各种编译器的示例。

注意，这里根本没有进行字符集转换。它所做的只是将每个迭代的wchar_t赋值给一个char—截断转换。它使用std::string c'tor:

template< class InputIt >
basic_string( InputIt first, InputIt last,
              const Allocator& alloc = Allocator() );

如评论所述:

值0-127在几乎所有编码中都是相同的，因此要截断 所有小于127的值都会生成相同的文本。输入一个 汉字，你会看到失败。

windows codepage 1252的值128-255 (windows English 默认值)和unicode的值128-255基本相同，因此如果 这就是你所使用的大部分字符的代码页 截断为正确的值。(我完全期待á和õ能正常工作， 我知道我们的代码在工作中依赖于é，我将很快修复)

请注意，Win1252中0x80 - 0x9F范围内的代码点将无法工作。这包括€，，，，…

在我的情况下，我必须使用多字节字符(MBCS)，我想使用std::string和std::wstring。不能使用c++11。所以我使用mbstowcs和wcstombs。

我与使用new, delete[]做相同的函数，但它比这更慢。

这可以帮助如何:在各种字符串类型之间转换

EDIT

然而，在转换为wstring和源字符串是没有字母和多字节字符串的情况下，它是不工作的。 所以我把wcstombs改成WideCharToMultiByte。

#include <string>

std::wstring get_wstr_from_sz(const char* psz)
{
    //I think it's enough to my case
    wchar_t buf[0x400];
    wchar_t *pbuf = buf;
    size_t len = strlen(psz) + 1;

    if (len >= sizeof(buf) / sizeof(wchar_t))
    {
        pbuf = L"error";
    }
    else
    {
        size_t converted;
        mbstowcs_s(&converted, buf, psz, _TRUNCATE);
    }

    return std::wstring(pbuf);
}

std::string get_string_from_wsz(const wchar_t* pwsz)
{
    char buf[0x400];
    char *pbuf = buf;
    size_t len = wcslen(pwsz)*2 + 1;

    if (len >= sizeof(buf))
    {
        pbuf = "error";
    }
    else
    {
        size_t converted;
        wcstombs_s(&converted, buf, pwsz, _TRUNCATE);
    }

    return std::string(pbuf);
}

编辑使用“MultiByteToWideChar”而不是“wcstombs”

#include <Windows.h>
#include <boost/shared_ptr.hpp>
#include "string_util.h"

std::wstring get_wstring_from_sz(const char* psz)
{
    int res;
    wchar_t buf[0x400];
    wchar_t *pbuf = buf;
    boost::shared_ptr<wchar_t[]> shared_pbuf;

    res = MultiByteToWideChar(CP_ACP, 0, psz, -1, buf, sizeof(buf)/sizeof(wchar_t));

    if (0 == res && GetLastError() == ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER)
    {
        res = MultiByteToWideChar(CP_ACP, 0, psz, -1, NULL, 0);

        shared_pbuf = boost::shared_ptr<wchar_t[]>(new wchar_t[res]);

        pbuf = shared_pbuf.get();

        res = MultiByteToWideChar(CP_ACP, 0, psz, -1, pbuf, res);
    }
    else if (0 == res)
    {
        pbuf = L"error";
    }

    return std::wstring(pbuf);
}

std::string get_string_from_wcs(const wchar_t* pcs)
{
    int res;
    char buf[0x400];
    char* pbuf = buf;
    boost::shared_ptr<char[]> shared_pbuf;

    res = WideCharToMultiByte(CP_ACP, 0, pcs, -1, buf, sizeof(buf), NULL, NULL);

    if (0 == res && GetLastError() == ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER)
    {
        res = WideCharToMultiByte(CP_ACP, 0, pcs, -1, NULL, 0, NULL, NULL);

        shared_pbuf = boost::shared_ptr<char[]>(new char[res]);

        pbuf = shared_pbuf.get();

        res = WideCharToMultiByte(CP_ACP, 0, pcs, -1, pbuf, res, NULL, NULL);
    }
    else if (0 == res)
    {
        pbuf = "error";
    }

    return std::string(pbuf);
}

// Embarcadero C++ Builder 

// convertion string to wstring
string str1 = "hello";
String str2 = str1;         // typedef UnicodeString String;   -> str2 contains now u"hello";

// convertion wstring to string
String str2 = u"hello";
string str1 = UTF8string(str2).c_str();   // -> str1 contains now "hello"

下面是一个基于其他建议的解决方案:

#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include <clocale>
#include <locale>
#include <vector>

int main() {
  std::setlocale(LC_ALL, "");
  const std::wstring ws = L"ħëłlö";
  const std::locale locale("");
  typedef std::codecvt<wchar_t, char, std::mbstate_t> converter_type;
  const converter_type& converter = std::use_facet<converter_type>(locale);
  std::vector<char> to(ws.length() * converter.max_length());
  std::mbstate_t state;
  const wchar_t* from_next;
  char* to_next;
  const converter_type::result result = converter.out(state, ws.data(), ws.data() + ws.length(), from_next, &to[0], &to[0] + to.size(), to_next);
  if (result == converter_type::ok or result == converter_type::noconv) {
    const std::string s(&to[0], to_next);
    std::cout <<"std::string =     "<<s<<std::endl;
  }
}

这通常适用于Linux，但会在Windows上产生问题。
