Hello,
does GPC have a data type that corresponds to the wchar_t data type of gcc? If not, is there an easy way to port it and make sure it always has the same size as in gcc?
AFAICS we have no corresponding type. Adding such type to GPC is trivial, the hardest thing is choosing name -- 'WideChar' would be natural choice but in Delphi 'WideChar' is different (Windows insists on 16-bit chars). Hmm, `WcharInt' ?
Note that making such type would be purely for interfacing. Adding proper Pascal support for wide characters is much bigger job -- think about wide strings (literals!).
By the way, I belive that GNU autoconf have tests for size of wchar_t, so if you use autotools you should be able to define Pascal equivalent at configure time.
