Hi Falk,
I'm reluctant to apply changes that should be applied upstream. Also
note that Alpha is not an officially supported platform for ZeroC Ice.
Therefore there may be more problems than just icecpp not compiling.
Your suggestion requires config.h to include limits.h which is a bad
thing IMO. icecpp is just a renamed cccp from GNU gcc 2.8 and the right
way to handle this issue is through autoconf (as GNU version does).
ZeroC sadly removed autoconf from their build system and tweaked
hand-edited macros to deal with multiple archs.
Besides it is unlikely that ZeroC will accept your patch (I forwarded it
to them just in case) because there are plenty of limits.h out there
without WCHAR_MAX defined. OTH GNU gcc no longer uses WCHAR in cpp.
Therefore I don't think it would stay there for long.
I do not have an Alpha system, would you be so kind to test if the
following simpler patch works for you?
