Well, I know that there is a "wide" API now, I just wanted to point out what is commonly done when an 8bit <-> character conversion is needed. The problem is that Haskell's I/O libs current use e.g. _sopen instead of _wsopen, so I should probably rephrase my proposal then as follows:
* Improve CStrings and friends to do some actual de-/encoding with the common default for the platform
* Use a "wide" API when available internally
my proposal is to implement second as part of new low i/o library because it's not only issue that we should fix. so, instead of patching here and there, new modular design should be started -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:Bulat.Ziganshin@gmail.com
