I tend to agree. Additionally, as more Unicode support is added to C++, the likelihood that we'll want to use other functionality from ICU increases. > However, the issue on the z/OS platform is that there currently isn't support > for this library so iconv seems to be the only solution we can use until we > do get support. So would an alternative be to use iconv only on z/OS (and > hopefully this is a temporary solution until icu is supported on z/OS) and > use icu on all other platforms? ICU isn't supported on z/OS because the historical z/OS compiler (xlC) never gained support for C++11 or later so support for z/OS was dropped when ICU moved to C++11. Now that IBM has embraced LLVM and Clang, I would expect it to be possible to build ICU for z/OS again with moderate porting effort. It would be great if someone from IBM could confirm whether such an effort is underway (@hubert.reinterpretcast?).
