- Subject: wchar support :(
Hi all -
I'm not sure if this is a problem stemming from gcc or from libstdc++
(are these separate enteties?).
Basically, in gcc3.4.5, I have the following symbol defined:
#define _GLIBCXX_USE_WCHAR_T 1
(in c++config.h)
The symbol is NOT defined when I use gcc4.1.
Looking at c++config.h, several new defines have been introduced in
g++-v4 stdlib, but
_GLIBCXX_USE_WCHAR_T is missing.
The libstdc++ still considers the symbol several places during
preprocessing, but the net effect is that wchar support is just gone.
I believe this stems somehow from the compiler because I use the same
version of libstdc++ for both gcc4.1 and gcc3.4.5.
Anybody know of a fix for this? (It seems to me that if the symbol
_GLIBCXX_USE_WCHAR_T is defined at compilation time of libstdc++, all
will be well, but I haven't a clue how the c++config.h file is
generated).
Thanks,
Brian
