             Bug #: 15036
           Summary: WCHAR_MIN and WCHAR_MAX incorrect for some
                    architectures
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.16
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: libc
        AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: jsm28@gcc.gnu.org
                CC: drepper.fsp@gmail.com
    Classification: Unclassified


Except for x86, __WCHAR_MIN and __WCHAR_MAX in bits/wchar.h have definitions
that are only correct when wchar_t is int.  This means they have incorrect
values when it is unsigned (ARM, AArch64) and incorrect type (int instead of
long) when it is long (m68k, hppa, 32-bit powerpc, sh, I think based on
examining GCC headers).

Testing a patch.
