I'm just curious: not arguing, ;) but Plauger says, in "The Standard C
Library" (1992, p. 219): "You write a wide character constant as, for
example, L'x'. It has type wchar_t. You write a wide characer string
literal as, for example, L"hello". It has type array of wchar_t. wchar_t is
an integer type that can represent all the code values for all
wide-character encodings supported by the implementation." Why might it not
be portable?
To be as portable as possible, we code to the lowest common
denominator. Not all compilers support L"". We adhere to C89, but I
can't remember what it says about L"", if anything. The point is that
WCHAR blah[] ={...} will work for every compiler.
