[Mingw-users] Wide Streams




Hi all,

I'm trying to get a definitive answer to the question of why MinGW (gcc 
v3.4.2) does not have the wide streams enabled, elthough it does have 
wstring.

I have searched the list archives and found vague comments referring to 
a problem with locales, but this seems a strange reason to disable the 
whole subsystem - surely you can at least implement the C locale? Or 
even better, a UTF-8 locale? And say "for any other functionality, use 
the Windows system functions"?

So does anyone know what the problem really is and what the prospects 
are in the future?

I also note that the Cygwin version (gcc v3.4.4) doesn't even have 
wstring. I know this is not the Cygwin list - but why the difference?

Andy
