Reply to Zorran,
Russian language not working in comments and strings by default with ANSI coding (code page) Compiler write error - "invalid UTF-8 sequence"============== void main() { string s = "Что-то по русски"; // some text in russian printf("hello, world!"); // Здравствуй , мир! } ============== (D version 1.039) in Delphi, C#, and many C++ compilers - All OK! Why? it can reduce popularity D! Russian text not needs two-byte code-page! its not Chinese!
IIRC D doesn't use codepages at all, it is pure UTF-8/16/32. Code pages have all kinds of nasty side effects. For instance, the above code is a garbled mess of number codes in my NG reader. Also this kind of thing: http://www.viprasys.com/vb/f44/hole-notepad-12276/
Way back (2-3 years) I remember a long thread about the use of UTF in D and the up shot was that it's not grate but it's a lot better than anything else anyone has come up with.
