9 Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
12 GNU libiconv is not found if installed in @file{$PREFIX/lib}.
14 Failures are not distinguishable from successful returns on some platforms:
18 Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
21 This function is missing on some platforms:
22 MacOS X 10.3, FreeBSD 6.0, OpenBSD 3.8, Cygwin, mingw, BeOS,
23 when GNU libiconv is not installed.
25 This function was not correctly implemented in glibc versions before 2.2.
27 When @code{iconv} encounters an input character that is valid but that can
28 not be converted to the output character set, glibc's and GNU libiconv's
29 @code{iconv} stop the conversion. Some other implementations put an
30 implementation-defined character into the output buffer. ---
31 Gnulib provides higher-level facilities @code{striconv} and @code{striconveh}
32 (wrappers around @code{iconv}) that deal with conversion errors in a platform
