Char type was converted to wchar_t and then was serialized as utf-8 stream.
Let char type will always be one char, of course it need to be a valid utf-8 sequence.
Let FT::dont_use_utf8 apply only to wchar_t and std::wstring
but ignore it if FT::hexadecimal or FT::binary are defined.
Now we have bool BaseExpression::esc_char(wchar_t val, pt::TextStream & stream) method
which (in most cases) will be used in derived classes.
Let wchar_t (and std::wstring) will be stored as 8 hex digits when using FT::hexadecimal
or FT::binary (and ignore FT::dont_use_utf8 in such a case).
FT class has following types:
enum FieldType
{
default_type = 0,
primary_key = 1,
foreign_key = 2,
foreign_key_in_child = 4,
no_insertable = 8,
no_updatable = 16,
no_fetchable = 32, /* not supported yet */
};
an object of FT class are now used in Model::field() methods instead of insertable/updatable/is_primary_key/... boolean flags
changed the semantic of has_foreign_key (which was a bool) flag in child Models:
now on Models and list/vector of Models you should use either FT::foreign_key or FT::foreign_key_in_child
1. FT::foreign_key means that field with this flag is a foreign key and is pointing to the child object
(it was the case when has_foreign_key was equal to true beforehand)
2. FT::foreign_key_in child means that the foreign key is in the child object and is pointing to the parent object
