Right. I wanted to say it would be "like" one of those. It is distinct BUT must match another integral in its signedness and size. >Fri, 16 Mar 2001 11:02:26 GMT, Ron Natalie pisze: > >> All the implementations I've dealt with use the 16 bit encoding >> for unicode (i.e. wchar_t is unsigned short). > >On Linux wchar_t has 32 bits. I would not say it this way. Linux is a platform not a C++ implementation. It would be more correct "on the Linux version of compiler xyz ..." Andrea Ferro --------- Brainbench C++ Master.
