Re: Unicode text file read

Now, the second thing is that the behaviour of wchar_t streams is
undefined by default, meaning that there is no conversion you can rely
on being performed between the external and internal representation.
This can be easily be fixed by imbue()ing the stream with a locale
with the appropriate codecvt<>-facet. These however are not included
in the C++ standard and I don't think there is even a standardlibrary
that ships any such facets, but using google you will be able to find
sources. Otherwise, Dinkumware, which supply the standardlib for the
VCs, has an addon library that includes commonly used
codecvt<>-facets.
