[jira] Commented: (XALANC-535) If an error/warning message contains
not-displayable character for the local encoding , no message is shown at
all
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANC-535?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12470349 ]
David Bertoni commented on XALANC-535:
--------------------------------------
I'm not sure changing TranscodeToLocalCodePage() so that it transcodes to UTF-8 if the local code page can't represent a character is the right thing to do. For example, if we're running on an EBCDIC system, then UTF-8 is not going to work at all.
Instead, we should make sure that callers check the return value, then attempt to do something else if code page conversion fails. As a fallback, TranscodeToLocalCodePage() should use a substitution character for any characters that are not representable.

> "wcstombs" fails and we return the empty vector . Probably solution here may be, if transcoding to the local code page fails , try to transcode to UTF8 and return the vector
