Bug 215393: devel/boost-libs: bad encoding conversion
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D215393



--- Description ---
Created attachment 178070
  --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3D178070&action=
=3Dedit
test case

By default boost-libs is compiled with ICONV and ICU support. In my tests s=
uch
configuration gives bad results for encoding from utf8 to arbitrary codepage
comparing to other OS'es.

I've attached screenshots and test program which I use. Test program uses
pre-defined utf8 string and python script to convert it from utf8 into Lati=
n-5
and TIS620.2533-0 (thai) codepages, then it uses boost to do the same. To
compile it simply type 'make' (or 'bmake' on Linux), boost lib and python2 =
are
requirements.

I've run this program on OpenBSD current, Debian stable and FreeBSD 11,
screenshots are attached.

If I compile boost-libs with ICU *only* I have better results - they're the
same as on other two OS'es, except for TIS620.2533-0 codepage - it rises an
exception about unknown encoding.

Does such inconsistency between FreeBSD's boost-lib's locale and other OS'es
should be expected?
