------- Comment #3 from serg at vostok dot net 2007-05-15 18:33 ------- For subject 1.
Can java/gcj even be used without iconv in general? Considering that java.io.File assumes all file names in OS are encoded in UTF-8 and java.String stores it's data in UCS-2 (UTF-16), the answer should be "NO". TODO: Add a check in configure for presence of a UCS-2* encoding in iconv. There we can test several well-known encoding names (UCS-2-INTERNAL, UCS-2-LE, USC-2-BE, UCS-2LE, UCS-2BE) and set HAVE_UCS2 to the name of one with native byte order, if found. If not, then test for plain UCS-2. If not found - bail out with a message about needing an iconv with a UCS-2 for java. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31939
