Well, part of the problem may be that Mac OS X has been tracking -stable exclusively so far and -stable is the reference code base we look at whenever we're interested in what the state of affairs in FreeBSD-land is, so clearly we missed the work you did in 5.0 when we did our comparison. It's not that we're blind to 5.0's existence, by the way, we've just been waiting for it to become a -stable branch of its own before we shift our eyeballs over to looking at what it's going to take to synchronize with it. Given the many and varied areas of divergence between Mac OS X and FreeBSD, even with our efforts to keep all the relevant bits in sync, it simply represents a rather big job to even compare parts of the two operating systems and 5.0 has just been one of those "we'll cross that bridge when the time comes" sorts of things. Now that we know the real meat of FreeBSD's wchar_t implementation lies in 5.0 (or in Perforce for that matter), we'll shift our eyes over there and see what we can do with that. Thanks. - Jordan On Saturday, March 8, 2003, at 06:29 PM, Tim Robbins wrote: > Please list the features that we are missing and that you would like to > see implemented -- FreeBSD 5.0 implements ISO C90 Amd 1 and ISO C99 > wide character support with few exceptions (WCHAR_MIN/WCHAR_MAX macros, > wcstof(), wcstold()). > -- Jordan K.
