unicode assignment

[eth0]

What's the best/correct way of assigning return values of non unicode functions to unicode char arrays?

e.g. if I have defined _UNICODE, what would be the correct way to assign a return value from the following:

TCHAR *ip;
ip = inet_ntoa(source.sin_addr);

I'm guessing:

TCHAR *ip;
char *iptemp;
iptemp = inet_ntoa(source.sin_addr);
#ifdef _UNICODE
    MultiByteToWideChar(0,0, iptemp, sizeof(*iptemp), ip, 256);
#else
    *ip = *iptemp;
#endif

Well you need to allocate memory for your unicode string, but you have the right idea.

There is a set of helper functions that perform memory allocation and conversion here.
