Maybe lousy is too strong a word, but aside from
compatibility with other
libs/software that use it (which I'll address separately),
UTF-16 is not
particularly useful compared to UTF-8 and UTF-32:

I tried to avoid commenting this because I am afraid we'll stray away from the

I'm well aware why UTF-32 is useful. Earlier, you had
started out saying
that there should only be one string type, the OS-native
type. Now you're
changing your tune and saying that we do need multiple
types.
No. From the very beginning I said it would also be nice to have some
Is this what you want?

Yes, I think
Generally Linux systems use UTF-8 so I guess the system
encoding there will be UTF-8. But then if you start to use
QT you have to use UTF-16, but you might have to intermix
UTF-8 to work with other libraries in the backend (libraries
which are not necessarily D libraries, nor system

Sorry for that, I did not know there was some problem

Sorry, if it's again top post in your mail clients. I'll try to figure out
what's going on later today.
1. Am I correct in all of that?
Yes. That's the reason I was saying that UTF-16 is *NOT* a lousy encoding. It
really depends on a situation. The advantage is not only space but also
Note: I posted this already on runtime D list, but I think that list was a

Hi. I am new to D. It looks like D supports 3 types of characters: char, wchar,
dchar. This is cool, however, I have some questions about it:
1. When we have 2

not know about it. I thought D does automatic conversion for string literals.
Yes, templates may help. However, that unnecessary make code

It only generates code for the types that are actually
needed. If, for
instance, your progam never uses anything except UTF-8,
then only one
version of the function will be made - the UTF-8
version. If you don't use
every char type, then it doesn't generate it for every char
type -

Excuse me? Unless templates are something different in D (I can't be 100% sure
since I am new D), it should be the case. At least in C++, that would be
).

You only need to do that where you are shipping closed
source and for that, it should be trivial to get the
compiler to generate all three versions.
You will also need to do it in open source projects if you want to include
generated template code into dynamic library as opposed to user's
16 matches
