Features

• ConversionUtils (conversion-utils.hpp)

  template<typename S, typename D>
  auto convert_to<char,wchar_t>(const std::basic_string<T>& src) -> std::basic_string<D>
  {
     ...
    return std::basic_string<D>{};
  }

  • convert_to<char,wchar_t>(const std::string& src)
    • Convert from std::string to std::wstring (using UTF-8 encoding)
  • convert_to<wchar_t,char>(const std::wstring& src)
    • Convert from std::wstring to std::string (UTF-8 encodes the contents).

Use this library until C++26 is prevalent and the compiler vendors remove the codecvt library--not simply deprecation warnings.
