Considering that C++11 has a type for a Unicode scalar value and considering that our compilers support C++11, I suggest we adopt a C++ code style guideline that we should use char32_t (as opposed to uint32_t) to represent a single Unicode scalar value as the argument type or return value of a method.
Rationale: Say what you mean when the language has vocabulary to do so. Note: I'm not advocating for UTF-32 strings, i.e. having a buffer of multiple char32_t values. UTF-32 string are, in my opinion, a design bug, and I want to get rid of the existing cases of UTF-32 strings in our codebase. -- Henri Sivonen hsivo...@hsivonen.fi https://hsivonen.fi/ _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
