Hello hackers@ I'm working on getting FreeBSD working with the ARM EABI. As part of this the Procedure Call Standard for the ARM Architecture (AAPCS) defines wchar_t as an unsigned int. Looking at sys/sys/_types.h rune_t, wchar_t and wint_t are of type __ct_rune_t which is an int. Furthermore as per the comment above the typedef rune_t must be signed to hold EOF of -1 and wchar_t must be the same type as rune_t. Because wchar_t is defined as an unsigned int would there be any issues with moving the typedef for __wchar_t to <machine/_types.h> and changing it from __ct_rune_t to int with the exception of the ARM EABI case? Along with this WCHAR_MIN and WCHAR_MAX are defined both in <wchar.h> and <machine/_stdint.h>. I would like to remove the copy from wchar.h and add an include to machine/_stdint.h. Would there be any problems with either of these or is there a better place to put the __wchar_t typedef and define WCHAR_MIN and WCHAR_MAX? Andrew
