Hi, I'm new to glib, and have questions/comments about the utf-8 API. 1) There seems to be no good way to strncpy a utf8 string into a fixed buffer. g_strncpy doesn't work, because the last character can get truncated causing an invalid string. g_utf8_strncpy doesn't work either, because I don't know how many characters fit in the buffer.
2) There seems to be no way to create a "best guess" valid string. g_utf8_validate is nice and all, but if validation fails I still need to create a valid string. Am I supposed to use g_convert_with_fallback() from UTF-8 to UTF-8? 3) If validated utf8 strings are fundamentally different from unvalidated strings, shouldn't they use a different C type? 4) What are the developers' reaction to camel_utf8_getc() on this page: http://www.go-evolution.org/Camel.Misc Please tell me if I'm missing something. I'm happy to log bug reports as indicated.
