Re: std::cout << Glib::ustring(utf8_literal) throws exception

["Milosz Derezynski" <internalerror gmail com>]

Then i guess you would somehow need to set an UTF-8 locale (setting LC_ALL to 0 you set the C or (i think) ANSI X3.4-1986 locale).

Yes, you are right. Copying the ustring to a std::string gets rid of the error but still doesn't work right because it is interpreted as ASCII in the console.

It should be noted here that Glib::ustring::operator<< performs a conversion from UTF-8 to the currenty set locale (yeah it's weird and unexpected) and thus works intransparent and produces sideeffects; i don't know the implication of this on Windows but i'm willing to be that that's the reason for your problem here. You could try copying the ustring to an std::string before using << and then feed the std::string to cout.

   Hi,

   The following code works fine on Linux but dies on Windows when run
   in the console:

   #include <gtkmm.h>

   int main()
   {
    setlocale(LC_ALL,0);
    // Should output aleph
    std::cout << Glib::ustring("\xd7\x90") << std::endl
   }

   The error is: "Invalid byte sequence in conversion input"

   Has anyone tried UTF-8 with Glib on Windows? What else do I need to do?

   Thanks,

   Sohail
