>Organization:
tux.org
>Environment:
System: Linux tosca 2.2.18 #2 Thu Mar 8 13:48:25 PST 2001 i686 unknown
Architecture: i686
host: i686-pc-linux-gnu
build: i686-pc-linux-gnu
target: i686-pc-linux-gnu
configured with: ../gcc/configure --prefix=/usr/local/gcc --disable-nls
>Description:
The calls
numeric_limits<wchar_t >::digits
and
numeric_limits<wchar_t >::max()
return zero (0) instead of the limits of the type w_char.
>How-To-Repeat:
Run this code:
#include <iostream.h>
#include <limits>
using namespace std;
// needs g++ version 3
int main() {
  cout <<numeric_limits<wchar_t >::digits <<"\twchar_t digits\n";
  cout <<static_cast<int>(numeric_limits<wchar_t >::max()) <<"\twchar_t max\n";
}
>Fix:
I assume that ..../lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.0/include/limits.h
needs to be fixed.
