Boris Kolpackov commented on XERCESC-2204:
------------------------------------------
I think it's pretty clear iconv is redundant but it would be bad to loose the
ability to build an external dependency-free version of Xerces-C++.
Perhaps we should have a thread on c-dev to discussing and agree on the plan
for 4.0.0 where we can also consider removing other redundant components,
switching to a later C++11 standard, etc? Roger, if you could maybe send the
list all the major changes you have in mind, this will get the ball rolling?

> Key: XERCESC-2204
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-2204
> 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
>
>
> We support several different message loaders (inmemory, icu, iconv).
> However... we don't have any translations to actually warrant all this
> complexity, and likely never will. We have the basic en_US and that's it.
> So this code is essentially unused, and I don't see much prospect of it being
> used in the future given that there have been zero translations written in
> the last two decades.
> In order to reduce the size of the test matrix and reduce the maintenance
> burden, I'd like to ask if this is something we could safely drop?
> See also XALANC-808 which is the same issue for Xalan-C.
