Gnulib module: iconv, iconv_open, iconv_open-utf

Portability problems fixed by either Gnulib module @code{iconv} or @code{iconv_open}:
|
|
@itemize
|
|
@item
|
|
GNU libiconv is not found if installed in @file{$PREFIX/lib}.
|
|
@item
|
|
No converter from EUC-JP to UTF-8 is provided on some platforms:
|
|
HP-UX 11.

Portability problems fixed by Gnulib module @code{iconv_open}:

@itemize

@item
|
|
This function recognizes only non-standard aliases for many encodings (not
|
|
the IANA registered encoding names) on many platforms:
|
|
AIX 5.1, HP-UX 11, IRIX 6.5, OSF/1 5.1, Solaris 11 2010-11.

Portability problems fixed by Gnulib module @code{iconv_open-utf}:
|
|
@itemize
|
|
@item
|
|
This function does not support the encodings UTF-16BE, UTF-16LE, UTF-32BE,
|
|
UTF-32LE on many platforms:
|
|
AIX 5.1, HP-UX 11, IRIX 6.5, OSF/1 5.1, Solaris 8.

Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
|
|
@itemize
|
|
@item
|
|
This function is missing on some platforms:
|
|
MacOS X 10.5, FreeBSD 6.0, OpenBSD 3.8, Minix 3.1.8, IRIX 5.3, Cygwin, mingw, MSVC 9, BeOS,
|
|
when GNU libiconv is not installed.
|
|
@item
|
|
For some encodings A and B, this function cannot convert directly from A to B,
|
|
although an indirect conversion from A through UTF-8 to B is possible. This
|
|
occurs on some platforms: Solaris 11 2010-11. --- Gnulib provides a higher-level
|
|
facility @code{striconveh} (a wrapper around @code{iconv}) that deals with
|
|
this problem.
|
|
@item
|
|
The set of supported encodings and conversions is system dependent.
