For the most of it, libxml2 uses UTF-8 strings internally and relies on the ordinary C standard library functions to interact e.g. with the file system. It largely ignores the distinctions between _UNICODE, _MBCS, and "ANSI" one may encounter in programming Windows-specific applications. Practically you may run into trouble asking libxml2 to open certain file names, and you have to manually convert UTF-8 strings from libxml2 to whatever suits your application best, but it shouldn't matter much more than that. >At one point I did have my app working with a pre-built libxml2 library, >but a machine crash and several environment changes/upgrades since that >time have left that part of the project in sad shape, where using the >libraries now seems to cause crashes - with some hints that the problem >might be related to issues with MBCS vs Unicode. It's more likely you are mixing runtimes, e.g. your libxml2 might have been compiled with /MT while your application uses /MDd or something to that effect. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjo...@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Am Badedeich 7 · Telefon: +49(0)160/4415681 · http://www.bjoernsworld.de 25899 Dagebüll · PGP Pub.
