Looking at the documentation for Code Conversion I do not see any way to
convert from Unicode to multibyte. The converter class only works one way
from multibyte to Unicode. I suppose this falls within the category of
"not-yet-implemented."
I would like to see converter_impl accept codecvt_type as a template
argument perhaps with a default of std::codecvt but so that I can replace
it. const codecvt_type& cvt = codecvt_type() also would be added to the
converter constructor. Regex works this way.
The other common code conversion task that is fairly Windows specific but a
common task nonetheless is to convert \r\n to and from \n in text streams.
Regards,
George.
