utf8_codecvt is in libserialization and in libprogram_options
Not really. boost/program_options/detail/utf8_codecvt_facet.hpp only includes boost/detail/utf8_codecvt_facet.hpp, with some setup.
--I thought it was moving to utility? Is there one supported spot? Is there any documentation that talks about what to include and link?
The only documentation in the comment in boost/detail/utf8_codecvt_facet.hpp
The .hpp file is still in boost/detail, boost/archive/detail, boost/program_options,boost_filesystem/src, and libs/iostreams/test/detail. Guess it's not cleaned up yet? Or maybe people didn't want cross dependencies?
Those are *different* .hpp files -- each forwarding the the one in boost/detail.
Anyway I need to either use it or write one;) I'm not doing serialization or program_options (yet, who knows, just starting the project). I also need to be able to be able to deal with UTF-16, I don't suppose there's a codecvt facet for that, huh?
If you're on windows, wchar_t is only 16-bit anyway. If you are on a different operating system, I don't know any code in Boost that will convert UTF-16 into a sequence of 32-bit wchar_t. However, the internet has a pile of such converters and this topic was discussed on this mailing list, too. - Volodya
