As quoted in the mail I just sent, XML_Char is defined as char. UTF-8
is used to store multibyte chars. And no, it won't be changed, since
it's a libxml/expat typedef and not abi's.
Interesting that you should mention that it's typedeffed to a char,
since expat and libxml2 disagree upon this. While expat defines it as
a char, libxml2 defines it as an unsigned char. This causes a
multitude of warnings:
...
ev_UnixToolbar.cpp:245: warning: passing `const char *' as argument 2
of `UT_XML_stricmp(const xmlChar *, const xmlChar *)' changes signedness
ev_UnixToolbar.cpp:247: warning: passing `const char *' as argument 2
of `UT_XML_stricmp(const xmlChar *, const xmlChar *)' changes signedness
... etc.
Any ideas?
