Or more correctly: gcc disregarding the cast for -Wformat is. Anyway, I'm not concerned about the non-I/O functions. This is all C++ code after all and there are functions for all the rest. > Isn't this a problem with char8_t? > Well, yes, the problem is that gcc seems to just see the u8"" type (char8_t) even though I tell it with the cast to regard it as a const char. Again, I ensure that the encoding matches and putting UTF-8 in char strings is actually incorrect (in theory).
