[sword-devel] Thayer's and the FAQ

2009-08-28 Thread David (Mailing List Addy)
I was thinking that the Thayer's module removal (and the BDB I think it was for the Hebrew?) needs a FAQ entry. We don't get the question often, since the modules have been gone a while but it might be worth having. Does the wiki need any special permissions to edit (due to spammers, etc)? ___

Thanks again Matthew. Writing quick for lack of time right now. In general, we avoid the use of wchar_t because it is define differently on different systems, making its intended use (as a unicode character) holder at best essentially useless for anything other than UTF-16, and at least confusing

Thanks for investigating this Matthew. There shouldn't really be any repercussions to increasing this within reason, though I would like to find a way to remove this code if we can. Does anyone know if clucene REALLY wants a wchar_t buffer, and if so, what EXACTLY does it want? wchar_t on window
