Further to this I've tried searching IBM's site
for
info on its iconv() implementation in AIX but can't
find anything useful.
We have this code in EncodingManager.cpp:
iconv_handle_N2U =
UT_iconv_open("UCS-2",that->getNativeEncodingName());
iconv_handle_U2N =
UT_iconv_open(that->getNativeEncodingName(),"UCS-2");
iconv_handle_Win2U =
UT_iconv_open("UCS-2",winencname);
iconv_handle_U2Win =
UT_iconv_open(winencname,"UCS-2");
Which opens and iconv handle with the literal string
"UCS-2" which any decent iconv() should support.
There are two possibilites:
1) AIX supports UCS-2 but uses some other name such as
"UNICODE" or "UCS2".
Solution: if you can find out which name
to use we can add aliases to the iconv sniffer and
add a method to EncodingManager to get the "real
name" for the encoding like we do for some other
encodings.
2) AIX doesn't support UCS-2 at all.
Solution: Always build on AIX with libiconv
Please reply when you know the situation.
