Maybe the lack of interest is because this means little to me, and may mean little to others. If you have a library you need to tell people how to get it. I found a Soc 2009 home page and I still have no idea how one is supposed to see what is there or how to get your library.
There have been emails about it regularly on this mailing list for the past year and a half.
Searching this list for Unicode should give you many hits. The docs are here, if that's what you're looking for: <http://mathias.gaunard.com/unicode/doc/html/>
This is just beautiful -- I think this is exactly what I need in cpp-netlib! Will this be submitted to Boost for review soon, because I really want to be able to deal with UTF-8 real soon now. :D
Very strange. You mention your library as possibly being more complete but then you tout someone else's. OK, I will study Artyom's Boost.Locale instead.
My library is more powerful in a way, but is also less polished and feature-complete.
So, what are the features you'd like to implement so that us potential users can be the judge of whether it's feature-complete enough?
They also have completely different approaches in their interface, as my library is made to be locale-agnostic and Artyom's chooses to make use of the standard C++ locale subsystem as much as possible, even though it is inherently broken for Unicode.
My library is a generic implementation of Unicode, while Boost.Locale is mostly a wrapper on top of ICU, IBM's Unicode library.
They're quite different, and I like mine best of course, but I have to admit Boost.Locale is more ready for production than Boost.Unicode for the time being.
I think I like this approach better too to deal with unicode data in a generic means. I like that it plays nicely with Boost.Range and Boost.RangeEx which is definitely a good way to deal with strings and text. Of course this is just me. I look forward to this library getting stable and usable soon -- definitely something sorely missing in Boost and in C++ in general. -- Dean Michael Berris deanberris.com
