[[User:Peter gummer|Peter gummer]] 22:25, 25 September 2012 (UTC) These are interesting guidelines. Is this recommended already in EiffelStudio 7.1?

Our code currently uses <e>STRING</e> almost everywhere; the ECF maps <e>STRING</e> to <e>STRING_8</e>. Do the guidelines mean that we can change the ECF mapping from <e>STRING</e> to <e>STRING_32</e>? This would be much faster than editing every class individually.

The guidelines recommend using some <e>*_FILE_32</e> classes. Most of our files are UTF-8, not UTF-32. Will using the <e>*_FILE_32</e> classes work?

 As to using <e>*_FILE_32</e> classes, the only difference is the support of file names that use non-ASCII characters. Reading and writing the files is not affected.
