Roger Leigh commented on XERCESC-2206:
--------------------------------------
I certainly don't want to proceed with anything if it will cause you problems.
My understanding from earlier conversations was that branching off xerces-3.2
would unblock such changes on the master branch, so that they wouldn't be
disruptive for the stable release. Apologies if I've misunderstood. The
changes I have made so far on master bring the language requirement up to
C++98, and some of these changes would raise it up to C++11. If we need to
discuss that further e.g. on the mailing list with a wider audience or in
person, I'll be happy to do so. The intent is to make the library easier and
more convenient to use, rather than causing unnecessary pain.
Some of the tickets I've opened, such as XERCESC-2204 are more for discussion
than any immediate action. The overriding intent for these is to minimise the
combinatorial explosion of interacting configuration options to maximise test
coverage and to minimise the maintenance required so that an end user is not
going to get an untested combination.
> Use char16_t and unicode literals to replace various XMLCh types

> Key: XERCESC-2206
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-2206
> Project: Xerces-C++
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Miscellaneous
> Affects Versions: 3.3.0
> Reporter: Roger Leigh
> Assignee: Roger Leigh
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 3.3.0
>
>
> Currently, XMLCh can be a variety of 16-bit types depending upon the
> platform, from wchar_t, uint16_t, unsigned short, to char16_t.
> To reduce the platform-specific variability, fix XMLCh to char16_t, and also
> permit the use of u"" unicode string literals in the codebase. This will
> allow replacement of Unicode constants with direct use of literals.
> This will additionally reduce the size of the test matrix with only one
> character variant to test.
