I want to call a foreign C function that takes a UTF-8 encoded string as one of its arguments (and there's also a version of the function that receives UTF-16). Can someone point me to documentation or examples of how this would be done? AFAICT (reading the FFI spec) marshalling a String to a CString is locale-dependent, whereas I know that I want UTF-8/16. Also, if a C function returns a UTF-8 (or UTF-16) encoded string, how do I marshall this reliably into a Haskell String? Can I use the UTF-16 functions directly with CWStrings? (I'm not sure exactly what wchar_t is, as it's apparently dependent on the locale at compile-time, and could be 8, 16, or 32 bits). Thanks, Alistair. ----------------------------------------- ***************************************************************** Confidentiality Note: The information contained in this message, and any attachments, may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
