Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

In 7670:

Replace wchar_t <-> char conversion routines in the OGR provider with calls to GDAL's CPLRecodeXXX family of string conversion functions instead. In addition, add support for a new optional "DataSourceEncoding" connection parameter that allows a user to declare the encoding for a data source where such encoding cannot be inferred by the underlying OGR driver. When set, this declares the encoding of the [char] side of any wchar_t <-> char conversion. If not set, the [char] encoding defaults to UTF-8.

New unit tests have been added (with a test MapInfo tab file graciously provided by Geograf A/S) to verify that TAB files with unicode characters in property names and property values are not scrambled when connecting with the encoding (ISO-8859-1 for this tab file) specified up front. All other existing tests still pass with this change.

Special thanks to Hans Milling of Geograf A/S for testing, review of these changes and providing the test data to add to the ever growing test suite for the OGR provider.
