Re: [boost] Should we add two simple character-to-Unicode converters?

Nothing fancy, just something like:

int_fast32_t char_to_Unicode( char c ); int_fast32_t wchar_to_Unicode( wchar_t c );

that converts a native character to a Unicode value.

Maybe, but it's hard to comment as you haven't even explained what those function will do. What's a "native character" and what a "Unicode value" and how the conversion will be done? If the first function does conversion from local 8 bit encoding to unicode then: - do you have a working implementation? - isn't dealing with individual characters too slow? - Volodya
