Stepan,
I guess you may have found something there. The fact that this option is
available again shows an acknowledgement that wchar.h has been an issue in the
past.
I have more e-mails to read in this thread, but is this the best solution or
should the configure script itself be made smarter

Hi Chris, and happy new year,
According to Chris McGuire on 1/3/2007 7:41 AM:
I guess the following hack forces configure to ignore wchar.h:
./configure ac_cv_header_wchar_h=no
I guess you may have found something there. The fact that this
A few comments:
Many portable C programs assume that signed integer overflow wraps around
reliably using two's complement arithmetic.
I'd replace portable C programs with widely-used C programs. The normal
use of portable means that it conforms to the standard.
Conversely, in at least one
Today I updated the Autoconf manual to contain the following
description of the current situation with signed integer overflow.
This section of the manual is intended to advise programmers what to
do about portable C programs in this area.
I think some discussion along these lines also
Many portable C programs assume that signed integer overflow wraps around
reliably using two's complement arithmetic.
I was looking for an adjective that mean the programs work on a wide
variety of platforms, and portable seems more appropriate than
widely-used.
Maybe just say what you

Here are further patches I checked into the Autoconf documentation to
reflect today's comments (some of which I received privately). Thanks
to all of you. The trickiest bit was documenting one simple way to
reliably detect overflow without converting to unsigned and back.
