It should be at least as wide as a wchar_t. stddef.h has wchar_t as "int" while curses.h defines wchar_t (if it isn't defined in stddef.h) as "unsigned long". The C standard says that wchar_t should be able to all members of thye largest extended chracter set. AFAIK FreeBSD doesn't have any character set which requires more than 8 bits. wint_t should also be able to hold all members of the largest character set plus one extra value (WEOF). Also it must be at least 16 bits. -- <Insert your favourite quote here.> Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
