[llvm-dev] [RFC] Adding a char set converter to Support library
Hi! On z/OS, there is the need to convert strings from EBCDIC to UTF-8 and vice versa. Using the POSIX iconv functions has some challenges, so I created a small wrapper around this functionality to get the same result on all platforms. This functionality is required for reading and writing GOFF object files and can also be used in the frontend. I put up the code on Phabricator https://reviews.llvm.org/D88741. Please add your comments to the review if you are interested in this topic.

[llvm-dev] [RFC] Adding a char set converter to Support library
As far as I remember, libiconv is under LGPL. Will this cause any troubles?

[llvm-dev] [RFC] Adding a char set converter to Support library
My understanding is that dynamically linking should pose no problem, but I am no lawyer. On Linux, glibc is also under LGPL license, and LLVM usually links against it. (There is really no need for us to depend on libiconv. If it is deemed to risky, then I can dropped it.)
