---------------------------------------------------------------------- (0006817) eblake (manager) - 2024-06-13 16:37 https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1635#c6817 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Based on the discussions of the 2024-06-13 call, the Austin Group understands the desire to have a means for an iconv() implementation that stops early when a transliteration is not possible, despite recognizing valid characters in the input. Would it work to utilize a different errno in this sequence, perhaps ENOTSUP or EPROTO, to make it easier for applications to distinguish between a stop because of unrecognized input (EILSEQ) vs unrepresentable output (the new errno)? https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1635#c6812 mentioned ICONV_SET_* flags on MacOS; that appears to be used with a non-standard interface iconvctl(), and while it may be possible to standardize that interface and a new ICONV_SET_* flag as a means for for opting into the new errno value behavior, it seems like a much bigger request at this time Regarding the different defaults, we could add //NOTRANSLIT and make it unspecified whether //TRANSLIT or //NOTRANSLIT is the default.
