We have a senior developer at Yahoo! who is complaining about FreeBSD's lack of support for wchar_t. In particular, the ISO/ANSI and UNIX98 wide character functions are missing. This isn't the first time someone has complained about this -- internationalization is extremely important at Yahoo!, as you might guess. He wants to move his project to Linux for this and other reasons. I don't think this will happen, but I hear the threat more and more, and unlike most occasions there isn't a ready comeback. Now, I've done a bit of digging in the FreeBSD archives, and discovered that Itojun and his group have announced that their support for wchar_t is ready for integration. This was a month ago--has there been any progress in getting this going? Anything I can do to speed the process? -Ed To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
