Description Gavin Tu 2006-11-29 01:34:01 UTC
1. libiconv-1.1 has been checked in src/xlibi18n/lcUniconv serveral years ago,
file list is below:
8bit_tab_to_h.c,cp1251.h,iso8859_13.h,iso8859_5.h,jisx0212.h,tcvn.h,armscii_8.h
       ,cp1255.h,iso8859_14.h,iso8859_6.h,koi8_c.h,tis620.h,ascii.h,cp1256.h,  
        iso8859_15.h,iso8859_7.h,koi8_r.h,ucs2be.h,big5_emacs.h,gb2312.h,      
  
iso8859_16.h,iso8859_8.h,koi8_u.h,utf8.h,big5.h,georgian_academy.h,iso8859_1.h ,
       iso8859_9e.h,ksc5601.h,viscii.h,cjk_tab_to_h.c,georgian_ps.h,iso8859_2.h,
       iso8859_9.h,mulelao.h,iso8859_10.h,iso8859_3.h,jisx0201.h,cp1133.h,     
   iso8859_11.h,iso8859_4.h,jisx0208.h,tatar_cyr.h

2.currently, the latest libiconv is version 1.11,we need get some encoding
conversion tables from libiconv-1.11 to support some new charset,such as
gbk,gb18030,hkscs.

For solaris(maybe including other Unix),the performance of libc iconv is less
than libiconv,so fixing this bug will improve the performance for some Xlib
APIs(XmbTextListToTextProperty, XwcTextListToTextProperty,
XmbTextPropertyToTextList, XwcTextPropertyToTextList) for solaris.

Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys.  Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future.

Is this still an issue?

Mass closure: This bug has been untouched for more than six years, and is not
obviously still valid. Please reopen this bug or file a new report if you continue to experience issues with current releases.
