Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:

@itemize
|

@item
|
|
GNU libiconv is not found if installed in @file{$PREFIX/lib}.

Failures are not distinguishable from successful returns on some platforms:
|
|
AIX 5.1.

Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
|

@itemize

@item
|
|
This function is missing on some platforms:
|
|
MacOS X 10.3, FreeBSD 6.0, OpenBSD 3.8, Cygwin, mingw, BeOS,
|
|
when GNU libiconv is not installed.
|
|
@item
|
|
This function was not correctly implemented in glibc versions before 2.2.
|
|
@item
|
|
When @code{iconv} encounters an input character that is valid but that can
|
|
not be converted to the output character set, glibc's and GNU libiconv's
|
|
@code{iconv} stop the conversion. Some other implementations put an
|
|
implementation-defined character into the output buffer. ---
|
|
Gnulib provides higher-level facilities @code{striconv} and @code{striconveh}
|
|
(wrappers around @code{iconv}) that deal with conversion errors in a platform
|
|
independent way.
