And if you don't mind [L]GPL licensing, gnulib provides a source code replacement that guarantees wide character support on all modern porting platforms (particularly useful for mingw, which is sorely lacking on this front); and is currently working on introducing a wwchar_t type that is guaranteed to be UTF-32 even on cygwin (this is how coreutils gets wide character support for things like wc). Portions of that gnulib code are incorporated into libunistring. But from the sounds of your program's license, I'm not sure you can take advantage of gnulib or libunistring. --=20 Eric Blake eblake@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org --------------enig1EE2F0B374544F5E44845864 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Public key at http://people.redhat.com/eblake/eblake.gpg Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJNZm/KAAoJEKeha0olJ0Nq5nsH/0ZRg3xUR9hovHo4QYh3IJws mePCi019fTbgUSz5hkDS9i03RoT35yeGleDQfwiJS4gt3GewXDm83cjihEn7IRZJ GKC31Zps17K+/yDUJLCFcHhsRJQHAK0pFjA9u4nyNlhNejefJkmzEODHyfYnB0D/ 8Pi52npprA9HxA632Vzju2FmhqVqePWyPGEzoPf7HKQsTXvrBN0qxNP7gHDpfd5c AyKeZyB1VoRhfCwPnYYfB8nvz29G9Wh3/hjGuPKmNyA9wvnRwNnN2OOxzqF5Ach3 acHlY8WgTq7edYV/3tKCB4onjwKiglIjEaxk3AbtbjRRoxpKVGUeRtfbu+SU7FA= =/bji -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig1EE2F0B374544F5E44845864--
