Hello,

I am reading data from postgresql via ODBC encoded in UTF-8.

 

I am trying to verify that I am indeed reading the right data (I do not need to manipulate).

 

Simple output, of course does not work and Visual Studio '08 debugger just shows question marks.

 

So I wanted to try and convert to double byte using Boost UTF8 facets but I am simply lost at how to do this.

It appears that I cannot include any header files.  There is a reference to it in serialization pages, but not

clear how to include   / use it

 

 

 

namespace fs = boost::filesystem;
 

  std::locale global_loc = std::locale();
  std::locale loc( global_loc, new fs::detail::utf8_codecvt_facet );
  fs::wpath_traits::imbue( loc );
 

 

But this does not work in 'User' files because unless you are a boost library the

detail::utf8_codecvt_facet

 

is not available.

 

 

So my question is, is there a way to use boost to either printout to a file UTF8 or to convert it to  UTF-16 and see

it may be in the debugger?

 

 

thanks in advance
