- Subject: [RFH] Getting rid of WCHAR_TYPE_SIZE
Successfully removing WCHAR_UNSIGNED tempted me to look at
getting rid of WCHAR_TYPE_SIZE like Mark suggested.
It turns out there is only one user in the whole compiler,
and it's in Ada (huh?). In targtyps.c, we have:
Pos
get_target_wchar_t_size ()
{
/* We never want wide chacters less than "short" in Ada. */
return MAX (SHORT_TYPE_SIZE, WCHAR_TYPE_SIZE);
}
It seems a shame to have to maintain over 200 lines of #define
and #undef gunk just for this. Can someone suggest a replacement?
Neil.
