<P> The following is the abstract from the implementation notes:
<BLOCKQUOTE>
The standard class codecvt attempts to address conversions
between different character encoding schemes. In particular, the
standard attempts to detail conversions between the
implementation-defined wide characters (hereafter referred to as
wchar_t) and the standard type char that is so beloved in classic
"C" (which can now be referred to as narrow characters.)
This document attempts to describe how the GNU libstdc++-v3
implementation deals with the conversion between wide and narrow
characters, and also presents a framework for dealing with the huge
number of other encodings that iconv can convert, including Unicode
and UTF8. Design issues and requirements are addressed, and examples
of correct usage for both the required specializations for wide and
narrow characters and the implementation-provided extended
functionality are given.
