#ifndef CHARSET_H

#define CHARSET_H

/* If the target program uses a different character set than the host,

   GDB has some support for translating between the two; GDB converts

   characters and strings to the host character set before displaying

   them, and converts characters and strings appearing in expressions

   entered by the user to the target character set.

   At the moment, GDB only supports single-byte, stateless character

   sets.  This includes the ISO-8859 family (ASCII extended with

   accented characters, and (I think) Cyrillic, for European

   languages), and the EBCDIC family (used on IBM's mainframes).

   Unfortunately, it excludes many Asian scripts, the fixed- and

   variable-width Unicode encodings, and other desireable things.

   Patches are welcome!  (For example, it would be nice if the Java

   string support could simply get absorbed into some more general

   multi-byte encoding support.)

   Furthermore, GDB's code pretty much assumes that the host character

   set is some superset of ASCII; there are plenty if ('0' + n)

   expressions and the like.

   When the `iconv' library routine supports a character set meeting

   the requirements above, it's easy to plug an entry into GDB's table

   that uses iconv to handle the details.  */

   language-specific (to C and C++) and character-set-specific.

   Putting them here is a compromise.  */
