This series of patches provides the following:
- A fix for bug 25744 [1].
- Implementations of the mbrtoc8 and c8rtomb functions adopted for
C++20 via WG21 P0482R6 [2] and for C2X via WG14 N2653 [3].
- A char8_t typedef as adopted for C2X via WG14 N2653 [3].
These patches addresses feedback provided in response to a previous
submission [4].
Patch 1: A fix and test for bug 25744 [1].
Patch 2: Definitions of the mbrtoc8 and c8rtomb functions and the
char8_t typedef.
Patch 3: Tests for the mbrtoc8 and c8rtomb functions and the char8_t
typedef.
The fix for bug 25744 [1] is included in this patch series because the
tests for mbrtoc8 and c8rtomb depend on it for exercising the special
case where a pair of Unicode code points is converted to/from a single
double byte sequence. Such conversion cases exist for Big5-HKSCS.
N2653 was adopted by WG14 for C2X during their recent meeting. This
patch series enables the new declarations in C2X mode and when
_GNU_SOURCE is defined.
Thank you to Joseph Myers and Carlos O'Donell for their prior reviews of
this patch series.
Tom.
