[LC++]How to generate UTF-8 output?

[Jan Pfeifer]

hi Torsten,

I've been playing with a morphological analyser and I had many problems
using the C++ converter facet to convert to and from wstring (UCS-4 in
linux) and string (UTF-8). Well, not many problems, it just didn't work,
after a long time reading and trying.

My guess is that it's just not implemented correctly yet. I went through
many C++ books in safari (http://safari.oreilly.com/) and none gave good
(or working) descriptions on how to handle these internationalization
issues :(

So, I'm sticking to the C functions (wcrtomb() and mbtowcr() family of
functions) for converting. I keep all my internal data in UCS-4 (wstring
and wchar_t) and convert back to the user's encoding just before printing.

If you have better luck, please share with us your experience :)

regards,

Jan

ps.: I created a small library based on the following template:

template <typename Target, typename Source> Target string_cast( const
Source &src );

If you are interested, let me know, I can send you a copy (LGPL license
I guess, haven't copyrighted it yet).
