[boost] Re: Multiple files utf8_codecvt_facet.cpp

Hello world, I'm jumping in, because I am interested in Unicode conversion facets...

is there a reason why both program_options and serialization contain very similar files utf8_codecvt_facet.cpp?

I had a look at the serialization library's converter in utf8_codecvt_facet.cpp and noticed that utf8_codecvt_facet_wchar_t::do_in() doesn't check for non-shortest UTF8-sequences. There might also be some issues on platforms with 16-bit wchar_t (possible overflow). I suggest using (parts of) the UTF library in the Boost files area to solve those problems. This could also be another step towards an officially supported Unicode library... ;-) http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boost/files/utf/ Best regards from Aachen, Tilman
