There are John Maddock's iterator adapters, those of the Boost.Unicode library under development that are similar to them, and there is also Boost.Locale, another library under development that is a frontend to ICU, that provides function to do conversions (but it works with memory buffers).
I see that Maddock's adapters does the job, but does it provide the reliability of ICU?
They could result in undefined behaviour when given invalid UTF input at the end of the string. So not very reliable, no.
Any comments on the review schedule for Boost.Locale and Boost.Unicode? It seemed as if they compete on some points.
Boost.Unicode will be added to the review queue in September (at least that's the plan). When it gets reviewed will be whenever a willing review manager presents itself after that. I can't speak for Locale as I'm not the author, but it seems pretty advanced and could be competing at around the same time if not before.
