| Summary | 0000066: socket level charset conversion (unicode support) | ||||
| Description | i have looked at the way buffers are filled by socket_read. since network read operations are much more efficient than input_to-lines iconv charset conversions should happen right after socket/tls_read() into a pre-buffer, then copy-converted into the interactive's buffer rather than converting each input line on the LPC side.. outgoing transmissions need to find the same treatment, before socket_write(), and also before optional compression. + socket charset is stored in interactive_s and given by an efun + charset is compared to SYSTEM_CHARSET which is given by config.h/configure | ||||
| Additional Information | keeping track of charset everywhere to avoid any unnecessary conversion would lead to so much overhead, that occasional unnecessary conversion is the cheaper option. that's why we should convert in the driver close to the network operations. i don't know who will find the time to look into this and when. we may be able to provide an implementation some day, but i thought i should submit this so we can talk and think about it. | ||||

Mhmm, it probably does not really fit into Gnomis current plans to rework the comm buffers. If so, I would relate it to our plans for Unicode support in 3.5.x. I think, an optional transparent charset conversion might be beneficial although there might be some problems as well, e.g. people getting some output the LPC side did not actually generate. In these cases wizards need to keep in mind of the transparent conversion layer in the driver. So... 3.5.x? |

I agree, this is something for 3.5. |

This is implemented in LDMud 3.6.0. |
