Who can tell me what is the current status of the wchar_t support in the
newlib?
What do you mean specifically? If you build the docs, you can see the
various wchar_t routines supported. For example, there are wide character string
routines in the libc/string directory, conversion routines in libc/stdlib,
and various character classification and mapping functions in the libc/ctype directory.
There are a number of C99 routines that are not supported such as wchar I/O routines,
wchar numeric conversion routines, wchar time conversion routines, and
wchar collation.
The only wide-character languages currently supported are Japanese: JIS, S-JIS, EUC-JP,
and UTF-8. These are activated by setting the LC_CTYPE locale to one of:
"C-JIS", "C-SJIS", "C-EUCJP", or "C-UTF-8".
Is it only in the CVS snapshot now?
No, a new release 1.11.0 was recently cut which has all of this support.
See: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/newlib/2002/msg00665.html
I neglected to update the NEWS page but I will do so shortly.
Is there any development progress towards next release of the newlib?
Not for a while. I'll assume you didn't know about 1.11.0.
