[odb-users] ODB compiler does not handle UTF-8 with BOM properly

[Stanislav Ivochkin]

When running ODB compiler on UTF-8 with BOM encoded headers it reports
errors:

file.h:1:1: error: stray ‘\357’ in program
file.h:1:1: error: stray ‘\273’ in program
file.h:1:1: error: stray ‘\277’ in program

Note that the same error is reported by some versions of gcc that lack BOM
support.

I am using binary ODB Compiler v.2.3.0 running on Ubuntu 12.04 i386. The
windows version seems to be affected too.

Due to some VS limitations of handling utf8, I can not convert sources to
BOM-free utf8.

Any ideas for workarounds?
