| For the required specialization codecvt<wchar_t, char, mbstate_t> , |
| conversions are made between the internal character set (always UCS4 |
| on GNU/Linux) and whatever the currently selected locale for the |
| LC_CTYPE category implements. |
| </p><p> |
| The two required specializations are implemented as follows: |
| </p><p> |
| <code class="code"> |
| ctype<char> |
| </code> |
| </p><p> |
| This is simple specialization. Implementing this was a piece of cake. |
| </p><p> |
| <code class="code"> |
| ctype<wchar_t> |
| </code> |
| </p><p> |
| This specialization, by specifying all the template parameters, pretty |
| much ties the hands of implementors. As such, the implementation is |
| straightforward, involving mcsrtombs for the conversions between char |
| to wchar_t and wcsrtombs for conversions between wchar_t and char. |
| </p><p> |
| Neither of these two required specializations deals with Unicode |
| characters. |

| Get the ctype<wchar_t>::mask stuff under control. Need to |
| make some kind of static table, and not do lookup every time |
| somebody hits the do_is... functions. Too bad we can't just |
| redefine mask for ctype<wchar_t> |
| </p></li><li><p> |
| Rename abstract base class. See if just smash-overriding is a |
| better approach. Clarify, add sanity to naming. |
