Using the preprocessor here, we make sure gcc sees // __wchar_16_cpp__ instead of wchar_t. This is apparently not necessary under // vc++, for whom wchar_t is already a typedef instead of a built-in. #ifndef PAL_STDCPP_COMPAT #undef wchar_t #undef __WCHAR_TYPE__ #define __WCHAR_TYPE__ __wchar_16_cpp__ #define wchar_t __wchar_16_cpp__ // Set up the wchar_t type (which got preprocessed to __wchar_16_cpp__). // In C++11, the standard gives us char16_t, which is what we want (and matches types with u"") // In C, this doesn't exist, so use unsigned short. // **** WARNING: Linking C and C++ objects will break with -fstrict-aliasing with GCC/Clang // due to conditional typedef #if !defined(_WCHAR_T_DEFINED) || !defined(_MSC_VER) #if defined(__cplusplus) #undef __WCHAR_TYPE__ #define __WCHAR_TYPE__ char16_t typedef char16_t wchar_t; #else #undef __WCHAR_TYPE__ #define __WCHAR_TYPE__ unsigned short typedef unsigned short wchar_t; #endif // __cplusplus #ifndef _WCHAR_T_DEFINED #define _WCHAR_T_DEFINED #endif // !_WCHAR_T_DEFINED #endif // !_WCHAR_T_DEFINED || !_MSC_VER #endif // !PAL_STDCPP_COMPAT
