LOCALE?

As much as I've experienced wchar.h is a mess of stateful programming depending on LOCALE and essentially making programs non-portable. Maybe we should mention something about LOCALE and statefulness (in a neutral tone)? ... said: Rursus (bork²) 09:25, 27 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Move to C wide string handling

I've moved the article to C wide string handling for the following reasons:

  1. Consistency with other articles about C Standard Library components, such as C string handling, C mathematical functions
  2. The article in it's current form is not encyclopedic and it's very hard to make it as such. The actual subject of the article is the contents of wchar.h as opposed to wchar.h itself which is just some file. For more information see Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Stdlib.h.
  3. Parts of the current contents are already duplicated in other articles such as C file input/output.

If anyone opposes, please raise your concerns and suggestions here. I do not think that this move will be final action, a merge with C string handling might be a sensible solution also. 1exec1 (talk) 12:28, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
