>Description:
C11 says of c16rtomb(3):
> If c16 is a null wide character, a null byte is stored, preceded by any shift sequence needed to restore the initial shift state; the resulting state described is the initial conversion state.
Likewise C23 of c8rtomb(3).
This seems to suggest that if an incomplete UTF-8 or UTF-16 sequence is followed by a null, it should discard that incomplete sequence (can't imagine anything else legitimate to do with it), optionally output a shift sequence, and output a NUL byte.
However, our implementation -- and every other one I've looked at, in OpenBSD, FreeBSD, and glibc -- fails with EILSEQ in this case and produces no output.
>How-To-Repeat:
c16rtomb(buf, 0xd83d, &s); /* should succeed and return 0 */
c16rtomb(buf, L'\0', &s); /* should succeed, write one NUL byte to buf[0], and return 1 */
>Fix:
Yes, please!
