#3498: IO library has no locale codec support on Windows
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
Reporter: simonmar | Owner:
Type: bug | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone: 6.14.1
Component: libraries/base | Version: 6.11
Severity: normal | Keywords: unicode
Difficulty: Difficult (1 week) | Testcase: 2302, print021
Os: Windows | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
There is no support for the locale encoding (aka code page) on Windows in
the new IO library. The main reason is that the `MultiByteToWideChar` API
is insufficient to implement `BufferCodec`, because it doesn't do partial
encodings (amongst other things).
