[PATCH v12 05/10] utf8: add function to detect prohibited UTF-16/32 BOM

From
lars.schneider@autodesk.com <lars.schneider@autodesk.com>
Date
Mar 15, 2018, 22:57 UTC
Message-ID
<20180315225746.18119-6-lars.schneider@autodesk.com>
In-Reply-To
<20180315225746.18119-1-lars.schneider@autodesk.com>
From: Lars Schneider <larsxschneider@gmail.com>

Whenever a data stream is declared to be UTF-16BE, UTF-16LE, UTF-32BE or UTF-32LE a BOM must not be used [1]. The function returns true if this is the case.

This function is used in a subsequent commit.
