David O'Brian had the point that there was a tools dependency that this imposes that maybe ought not to be there. Since wchar_t is a reserved keyword in C++ according to the standard, I think that the synchronization of the size of the object when it's typedef'ed matching the size of the object manifest in C++, is FreeBSD's problem (hence my earlier comment about being screwed based on the wchar_t size). It's annoying, but it's something that the OS pretty much has to eat. The only workaround might be to size the type with config code in C++ to generate the header from a template (I don't like that). Personally, I vote for u_int16_t... Unicode 16 bit, vs. ISO-10646 code page zero (other code pages aren't defined at all anyway, and it matches Windows, in case you want to use an ELF library from a Windows box, if you can figure out how). -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
