+1 -- if there was a library that did easy conversion from std::wstring (usually the default in Windows now) to proper UTF-8 encoded std::string in Boost that would be *awesome*. I can totally use that library in cpp-netlib too. ;)
My library can do that kind of conversion with arbitrary ranges, and possibly lazily as it is being iterated.
Cool.
Artyom's library can probably do it too, but only eagerly and with contiguous memory segments.
I'll have to admit I haven't looked -- if that were true that would be a shame.
My Unicode library would be in the review queue if people had manifested sufficient interest, but I was quite disappointed to see none last time I asked for comments. I did send a submission to boostcon 2011 about it though, to present its approach to Unicode and discuss it.
I might have been in hibernation at that time as I missed it -- but consider this message an expression of interest in a *sane* and *generic* string encoding/decoding/representation library that may support not only UTF-8 but other Unicode encoding schemes (UTF-16,UTF-32). Pointers to code+documentation would be greatly appreciated. Also, Boost.Locale getting reviewed soon would be a good thing. Unfortunately I'm just too busy (and inexperienced) to be a review manager for *any* of the libraries in the queue. -- Dean Michael Berris deanberris.com
