Comment #2 on issue 15 by lawfo...@xxxxxxxxx: Python wchar_t and UTF-16
mismatch
http://code.google.com/p/liblouis/issues/detail?id=15
I realise liblouis allows the widechar size to be configured separately,
but why would you want to compile for 16 bit widechars on a system which
has a 32 bit wchar_t?
There may be no reason to do so, but the documentation makes it seem like a
matter of user discretion rather than a system requirement. Furthermore
the C examples work either way because they never make reference to
wchar_t, only to widechar. I expect not every Python developer would know
the size of wchar_t on his/her system since Python is supposed to hide such
issues.
