Hi,

I wanted to announce that I’m taking over ownership of Zach Laine’s Unicode papers: P2728, P2729, and P2745.

I’m currently working on a new revision of P2728, “Unicode in the Library, Part 1: UTF Transcoding.” The main update will be a different approach to error handling, replacing the previous transcoding_error_handler mechanism with a new member function in utf_iterator that specifies whether the code unit that operator* would return is part of a replacement character that was substituted for an ill-formed subsequence.

I suggest posting some examples illustrating how that member function would be used in some quasi-real world use cases and how useful diagnostics or error recovery might be facilitated. I don't think we have a strong collective understanding of what is really useful or necessary in this regard. It might be useful to search github or other source code repositories for uses of iconv(), ICU (ucnv_fromUChars() and ucnv_toUChars()), MultiByteToWideChar(), or other more Unicode specific transcoding utilities.

Please let me know if you have any feedback on P2728 that I should look into for its next revision! I can be reached at eddiejnolan@gmail.com or on Mattermost at username @eddienolan.

I would encourage reviewing the meeting minutes from the following prior discussions:

2023-09-13 SG16 meeting (you were present for this one).
2023-08-23 SG16 meeting.
2023-05-10 SG16 meeting (you were present for this one).
2023-04-12 SG16 meeting.
2023-03-22 SG16 meeting.

Tom.

Thanks,
