+ We assume that
+ - sizeof (mbstate_t) >= 4,
+ - only stateless encodings are supported (such as UTF-8 and EUC-JP, but
+ not ISO-2022 variants),
+ - for each encoding, the number of bytes for a wide character is <= 4.
+ (This maximum is attained for UTF-8, GB18030, EUC-TW.)
+ We define the meaning of mbstate_t as follows:
+ - In mb -> wc direction, mbstate_t's first byte contains the number of
+ buffered bytes (in the range 0..3), followed by up to 3 buffered bytes.
+ - In wc -> mb direction, mbstate_t contains no information. In other
+ words, it is always in the initial state. */
