Re: [boost] [conversion] wchar_t support in lexical_cast

Hi Sebastian Redl, you wrote:

Non-native wchar_t issues aside (I'm not sure of the rationale here), if the compiler is, as you say, new, then it should have an intrinsic wchar_t, and failure to get it working is either misconfiguration of the compiler (VC++, for example, needs a compiler switch to activate intrinsic wchar_t) or misconfiguration in the Boost config.hpp.

My problem is that STL is old and its pre-compiled parts (with pre-compiled specializations for basic_string<wchar_t> etc.) know nothing about native wchar_t. So if I pass that compiler switch I'll get a bunch of linker errors. As expected. This is why I need to get it working with "unsigned short" wchar_t. -- Alexei Alexandrov
