Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #294: unicode support in boost::filesystem https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/294 <pre class="wiki">- It is looks like most of modern file systems works in UNICODE. - There is a trivial transformation method from UNICODE to the low part of ASCII. And if there is no UNICODE support in some filesystem, then it can be emulated using this transformation. - The inaccessibility of UNICODE support breaks all the advantages of boost::filesystem, because if you live outside USA, UK and other English-speaking countries, then you must be ready to work with UNICODE .paths </pre> en-us Boost C++ Libraries /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/294 Trac 1.4.3 Dave Abrahams Fri, 06 Jul 2007 11:58:05 GMT component, description changed; cc, severity set https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/294#comment:1 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/294#comment:1 <ul> <li><strong>cc</strong> <span class="trac-author">bdawes@…</span> added </li> <li><strong>component</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">None</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">filesystem</span> </li> <li><strong>description</strong> modified (<a href="/trac10/ticket/294?action=diff&amp;version=1">diff</a>) </li> <li><strong>severity</strong> → <span class="trac-field-new">Showstopper</span> </li> </ul> <p> Can't assign this to Beman until he enters his email address in Trac </p> Ticket Dave Abrahams Mon, 09 Jul 2007 01:37:12 GMT owner, status changed https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/294#comment:2 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/294#comment:2 <ul> <li><strong>owner</strong> changed from <span class="trac-author">nobody</span> to <span class="trac-author">Beman Dawes</span> </li> <li><strong>status</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">assigned</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">new</span> </li> </ul> <p> Beman, it would be nice if you'd assign these filesystem tickets to yourself so they will fall off the <a class="report" href="https://svn.boost.org/trac10/report/10">untriaged list</a>.

It was merged into the main trunk in December of 2005. That implies Unicode for many, but not all compilers. </p> <p> Support for Unicode wide characters is also somewhat dependent on C++ and the C++ standard library. C++0x will include a number of improvements to better support Unicode. </p> Ticket
