While UTF8 is a perfect code for storing and transport, IMHO it is not at all perfect for being handled by complex software. Here UTF16 is a rather nice compromise (if you in fact need to force a single encoding scheme for text data). ============= Sure, provided that all ansistring-like operations are correct for its surrogates.
As Text I/O (OS-API, file, TCP/IP,... ) usually is done only in very little instances in a major program, conversions at that point do not harm much. ============= Database operations incl SQLITE ones (very intensively used in gadgets) ? Processing networking traffic over 1GB+ channels ? Probably we need to look into the future :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ November Webinars for C, C++, Fortran Developers Accelerate application performance with scalable programming models.
