#11096: Builtin encoder/decoder should be used for Latin-1 -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: bgamari | Owner: hvr Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.0.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.10.2 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Description changed by bgamari: Old description:
Filed on behalf of hvr.
Currently `mkTextEncoding'` delegates decoding/encoding from/to latin-1 to `iconv`. This shouldn't be necessary as we have latin-1 an encoder in `base`. Let's use it.
