Subject: Re: Missing wide character functions in libc.a
Date: Tue, 11 Sep 2001 18:19:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <008101c13b29$0a0fcc70$150a0eca@ewok> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <3B9D67E3.70203@ece.gatech.edu>
Would you know where can I find the source code to fix missing functions
(wcspbrk(), wcschr(), wcsrchr(), wcscoll(), wcsrfxm(), towupper(),
towlower() etc) in /lib/libc.a? I tried to "brower" from GNU's glibc source
(which does not build on Cygwin at moment), but it does not seem to be a
clean and easy cut.
I also download Cygwin source, but seem to me that these function just
haven't been implemented?!
Thanks.
Cheers,
Herbert
