Hi All. This is a review of Boost.Nowide library. [snip[ DESIGN: clear, logical, intuitive. IMPLEMENTATION: I did not look at. DOCUMENTATION: clear. POTENTIAL USEFULNESS: as specified in the docs, if you want to do things with multilingual strings in a platform independent way, you need a

like this.

I vote to *ACCEPT* the library. I may not be qualified enough (the manager will weigh my vote), but the desctiption of the library, as well as the replies from Artyom convince me that the library addresses the problem in the right way and is reliable.

Artyom, thanks for sharing this library, and submitting it for review.

Thank You very much for the review and the inputs.

One minor thing. In th be docs (http://cppcms.com/files/nowide/html/) we read: boost::nowide::widen <http://cppcms.com/files/nowide/html/namespaceboost_1_1nowide.html# a6baacc1bb80c134a2ce37f13977b5500> returns std::string.

I thing is thsould be std::wstring?

Regards, &rzej;

Actually this version is for fixed user buffer - function without allocation. So it is right one. Another versions return std::wstring

But when I look into the reference page: http://cppcms.com/files/nowide/html/namespaceboost_1_1nowide.html#a6baacc1bb... I cannot see any overload returning `std::string`? Regards, &rzej;

These:

std::string narrow (wchar_t const *s) std::wstring widen (char const *s) std::string narrow (std::wstring const &s) std::wstring widen (std::string const &s)

See: http://cppcms.com/files/nowide/html/namespaceboost_1_1nowide.html# a13b4f6f7f97f889ec858dde2d367b130

Yes, I can see those. And what they say is that functions called `narrow` return a `std::string`, and functions `widen` return a `std::wstring`, and

2017-06-20 11:02 GMT+02:00 Artyom Beilis via Boost : this makes perfect sense for me. But the quoted tutorial says: boost::nowide::widen

http://cppcms.com/files/nowide/html/namespaceboost_1_1nowide.html#a6baacc1bb... returns std::string.

It says something different than the declarations you have quoted. Regards, &rzej;
