[Bug preprocessor/33415] Can't compile .cpp file with UTF-8 BOM.

[tromey at gcc dot gnu dot org]

------- Comment #3 from tromey at gcc dot gnu dot org  2008-04-16 20:37 -------
I think some BOMs will be handled by iconv.
In particular I tried UTF-16 and this seemed to work ok.

UTF-8 is a special problem in two ways.  First, glibc's iconv does not
appear to recognize the UTF-8 BOM.

And, even if it did, we special-case UTF-8 (at least on non-EBCDIC hosts).

This could be fixed in files.c without too much difficulty (it makes a few
inconvenient assumptions), except that files.c does not know the name of the
source charset.
