FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.7.0_71"


ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Mint 32-bit
Linux alex-VirtualBox 3.13.0-24-generic #46-Ubuntu SMP Thu Apr 10 19:08:14 UTC 2014 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
This problem appears only in 32-bit! On my 64-bit machine, it is working correctly.

I'm using JNI. In my Java code, I call a function in a C file.

In the C file, when I'm using fwprint(stdout, L"something"), it doesn't work. It silently failed. I can see this behaviour from JDK 1.7.0!
With JDK 1.6.0, it is working.

What is interesting, is when I call fwide(stdout, 0). It returns 0, so I should be able to use wide char. But no...


REGRESSION. Last worked in version 6u45

ADDITIONAL REGRESSION INFORMATION:
java version "1.6.0_45"

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
I posted a question on stackoverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26422455/how-to-print-wide-character-using-jni

1) create a java file
2) create a C file
3) in the C file, use fwprintf(stdout, L"something");


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
I expect to see "something" to be printed out in the console
ACTUAL -
nothing appear

ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
there is no error message, it failed silently

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
