- Subject: The difference between 8bit-gap.c and 8bit-generic.c
Hi guys,
I am looking at 8 bit encodings (/iconvdata/). Some of them use
8bit-gap.c and others 8bit-generic.c
I am unable to decide which one of them to use for MIK.
At first I thought that this has something to do with whether the
charsets have holes in them, but I found there are encoding with holes
that use 8bit-generic.c
The only doc I was able to find were the initial commit messages:
libc/iconvdata/8bit-gap.c,v: 1997/12/01:
Generic implementation for 8bit charsets using gaps for UCS->8bit.
libc/iconvdata/8bit-gap.c,v: 1997/12/01:
Generic implementation for 8bit charsets using gaps for UCS->8bit.
So - can please someone point me to the criteria to choose between the
two files?
Best regards:
