[Libmesh-users] GetPot interface with UTF-8?

[edgar <edg...@cr...>]

Dear list,

I noticed that if I have a GetPot file such as:

┌────
│ [./ó]
│     val = 1
│ [../]
└────

, that my program would crash. As soon as I change `ó' by `o', it works 
fine. This makes me think that the crash arises because of this line in 
getpot.h

┌────
│ str += getpot_cast_int<char>(tmp);
└────

which is #define'd in getpot.h

┌────
| #define getpot_cast_int libMesh::cast_int
└────

and goes back to libmesh_common.h

┌────
│ template <typename Tnew, typename Told>
│ inline Tnew cast_int (Told oldvar)
│ {
│   libmesh_assert_equal_to
│     (oldvar, static_cast<Told>(static_cast<Tnew>(oldvar)));
│
│   return(static_cast<Tnew>(oldvar));
│ }
└────

It seems that only int-equivalent (i.e. 8-bit) characters are allowed in 
the GetPot file, is that correct? Is there support for UTF-x? (x: a 
number base, e.g. 8, 16, etc.)
