--- Comment #6 from Tom Straub <gnu-org at bignm dot com> --- Hi Tim, After banging my head against the wall looking for a solution to the C++11 UTF-8 support problems, I finally found what seems to be a great addition to my project, which I think might be beneficial to GNU as well. It is the UTF-8 CPP code. It is implemented as a header file, so there are no linking issues involved. It seems to add all the functionality needed that seems to be missing in GCC currently. The project can be found at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/utfcpp/ It would certainly make implementation of the codecvt stuff less painful. Best, Tom
