Description Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis 2017-05-16 11:04:14 UTC

Tracker for packages failing to build with ICU >=59.

C++ API of ICU >=59 uses features of C++ >=2011. Usage of ICU C++ headers in C++ 1998 mode results in compilation failures.

UChar typedef in C++ was previously unsigned short int by default (but optionally char16_t). It is now always char16_t. Some reverse dependencies need to be changed to use char16_t. Details are described in:
http://site.icu-project.org/download/59#TOC-ICU4C-char16_t

Minor cleanups of inclusions in ICU headers occurred.

This one's now really obsolete.
