In Boost Library Guidelines, there aren't any specified character-sets. (are there?)
Since some names of authors written in source files include high-ASCII characters that are incompatible with some other character-sets, they are unreadable for users setting non-ASCII character-sets as default like me (Japanese), and also compilers would generate warnings about it.
Therefore, I think the guideline should specify character-set or limit available characters to low-ASCII only for source files to standardize way to read and process them. (To limit to low-ASCII is better for me.)
Sounds OK to me. Objections, anyone? -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com The Astoria Seminar ==> http://www.astoriaseminar.com
