// utf8_codecvt_facet.hpp

// This header defines class utf8_codecvt_facet, derived fro 
// std::codecvt<wchar_t, char>, which can be used to convert utf8 data in
// files into wchar_t strings in the application.
//
// The header is NOT STANDALONE, and is not to be included by the USER.
// There are at least two libraries which want to use this functionality, and
// we want to avoid code duplication. It would be possible to create utf8
// library, but:
// - this requires review process first
// - in the case, when linking the a library which uses utf8 
//   (say 'program_options'), user should also link to the utf8 library.
//   This seems inconvenient, and asking a user to link to an unrevieved 
//   library is strange. 
// Until the above points are fixed, a library which wants to use utf8 must:
// - include this header from one of it's headers or sources
// - include the corresponding .cpp file from one of the sources
// - before including either file, the library must define
//   - BOOST_UTF8_BEGIN_NAMESPACE to the namespace declaration that must be used
//   - BOOST_UTF8_END_NAMESPACE to the code to close the previous namespace
//   - declaration.
//   - BOOST_UTF8_DECL -- to the code which must be used for all 'exportable'
//     symbols.
//
// For example, program_options library might contain:
//    #define BOOST_UTF8_BEGIN_NAMESPACE <backslash character> 
//             namespace boost { namespace program_options {
//    #define BOOST_UTF8_END_NAMESPACE }}
//    #define BOOST_UTF8_DECL BOOST_PROGRAM_OPTIONS_DECL
//    #include "../../detail/utf8/utf8_codecvt.cpp"
//
// Essentially, each library will have its own copy of utf8 code, in
// different namespaces. 

// Note:(Robert Ramey).  I have made the following alterations in the original
// code.
// a) Rendered utf8_codecvt<wchar_t, char>  with using templates
// b) Move longer functions outside class definition to prevent inlining
// and make code smaller
// c) added on a derived class to permit translation to/from current
// locale to utf8

//  See http://www.boost.org for updates, documentation, and revision history.

// archives stored as text - note these ar templated on the basic
// stream templates to accommodate wide (and other?) kind of characters
//
// note the fact that on libraries without wide characters, ostream is
// is not a specialization of basic_ostream which in fact is not defined
// in such cases.   So we can't use basic_ostream<OStream::char_type> but rather
// use two template parameters
//
// utf8_codecvt_facet
//   This is an implementation of a std::codecvt facet for translating 
//   from UTF-8 externally to UCS-4.  Note that this is not tied to
//   any specific types in order to allow customization on platforms
//   where wchar_t is not big enough.
//
// NOTES:  The current implementation jumps through some unpleasant hoops in
// order to deal with signed character types.  As a std::codecvt_base::result,
// it is necessary  for the ExternType to be convertible to unsigned  char.
// I chose not to tie the extern_type explicitly to char. But if any combination
// of types other than <wchar_t,char_t> is used, then std::codecvt must be
// specialized on those types for this to work.
