It's not clear to me what these types mean. If they are just unsigned
integers of the appropriate length, then why not just use u_int16_t
and u_int32_t? On the other hand, if the semantics of utf16_t is
supposed to include surrogates, then I don't see how some of these
functions could be implemented, for example:
> int isalphaU16 (utf16int_t);
What does this do with a surrogate?
> int mbtoU16 (utf16_t *, const char *, size_t);
How does this output a surrogate pair?
(Anonymous hidden state and magic return values?)
