Yeah, ok. It appears that Bruno, Eric, and Corinna went off on a long discussion concerning different approaches to dealing with 16bit wchar_t. Subsequently, a bunch of new functions have been added to gnulib, and a new type (wwchar_t); my assumption is future libiconv will use these new functions and type on cygwin... But (a) I don't want to wait for libiconv-1.14, and (b) I don't want to integrate that new gnulib stuff into libiconv-1.13.1 myself, so... We'll pretty much go with what we have, re: libiconv-1.13.1 on cygwin. There was another issue, related to how Bruno's relocation code is implemented on cygwin. Bruno adopted a slightly different patch (into gnulib) but obviously that hasn't trickled down to libiconv yet either. ...Now this, I could probably integrate into libiconv-1.13.1-3 instead of the -2 version of the patch. But, there's no real rush, as I don't build cygwin's libiconv with relocation turned on anyway. So...I'll remove the test designation ASAP. -- -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
