[Bug c++/33979] New: support for char16_t, char32_t

[bkoz at gcc dot gnu dot org]

This is a feature request for char16_t and char32_t builtin types when
compiling as C++0x. I've been meaning to do this since April, 2007.

For C++0x library-side, this is a relatively big change in terms of supported
API. In particular, numeric_limits, char_traits, basic_string, io, and locale
are all impacted.

See:

Language-side:

Library-side:

The library side is a separate issue, but for now just getting the language
side in would be useful.
