If I remember right (without looking right now) the reason it hasn't been included was some sort of issue of 16bit vs 32bit. The short answer is you need write your own functions and header file that you need, or use the Xwchar library that came in the original X11R5/contrib distributions (with slight modifications to the header file to use FreeBSD's wchar_t type and specific includes). It looks like jikes does the 'right thing' just because there's not that much consistancy across platforms. Just FYI HP, linux, and solaris all include a wchar.h, but different systems are missing different wcs* type functions. --- Mark Atkinson Checkpoint Technologies' Metaip Group marka@metaip.checkpoint.com !(wired)?(coffee++):(wired) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
