OK, looks like I misremembered. My bad. However, it is not documented as such: /** * g_utf8_get_char: * @p: a pointer to Unicode character encoded as UTF-8 * * Converts a sequence of bytes encoded as UTF-8 to a Unicode character. * If @p does not point to a valid UTF-8 encoded character, results are * undefined. If you are not sure that the bytes are complete * valid Unicode characters, you should use g_utf8_get_char_validated() * instead. * * Return value: the resulting character **/ > Anyway. Nice construct :). For future reference, it must be used with 32bit > ints only. Otherwise it can go wrong. Thanks! :-) Well, I assume that ints are at least 32 bit wide on any platform supported by GLib. But if you meant to say that it would break with larger ints, I don't see why. As long as the type is unsigned, it should be fine. --Daniel _______________________________________________ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
