Incorrect multibyte character encoding/handling
-----------------------------------------------
Key: ETCH-177
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ETCH-177
Project: Etch
Issue Type: Bug
Components: c-binding
Environment: Experienced on Linux/ARM
Reporter: Thomas Marsh
Priority: Blocker
The Etch C binding relies on the compiler dependent wchar_t throughout to
handle multibyte strings. It makes incorrect assumptions about the encoding by
relying on sizeof(wchar_t) in etch_encoding_for_wchar(). This limits
portability across compilers and results numerous issues throughout the code.
Within etch_encoding_transcode_wchar() there is a cast from wchar_t* to char*,
which does not work. (I'm not sure how it even works on any environment.) The
correct way to handle this is to convert the string with wcstombs().
