Greetings!
I have a bunch of files plain ASCII, UTF8 and UTF16 with and
without BOM (Byte Order Mark). I had, "I thought", a nice way
of figuring out what type of encoding the file was (ASCII,
UTF8 or UTF16) when the BOM was missing, by reading the
content and applying the std.utf.validate function to the
char[] or, wchar[] string. The problem is that lately, I am
hitting into a wall with the "array cast misalignment" when
casting wchar[].
If the BOM is missing and it is not UTF-8, it isn't a valid UTF
encoding.
Otherwise you have your answer. Don't cast a char[] to wchar[],
if you have a valid char[] then it must be converted (use
std.conv.to);
Some testing, the mentioned check for UTF-16 being even is
exactly what caused the "array cast misalignment" error (the
array wasn't an even number of bytes).
Thanks.
