Hi guys, during recent research concerning wchar_t and the related functions in our libroot, I have learnt that haiku's current compilers define wchar_t in a way (short unsigned int) that's incompatible with the actual implementation (which expects it to be 32 bits wide). This causes most wc-related functions to simply fail. Locally, I have changed our gcc-configurations to break with BeOS-"compatibility" and defined wchar_t as "long int". This made quite a number of functions work all of a sudden (most notably, the conversion functions between multi-bytes and wide-characters). While this is good, applying this change will require every haiku installation to be rebuilt completely. Additionally, all optional packages which might make use of wchar_t in any way, would have to be updated, too. So, is there a good/bad time for this or should I just proceed? cheers, Oliver P.S.: if there are any changes pending for gcc2 or gcc4, please tell, since now would be a very good time to apply those, too :-)
