[Qt-interest] Question about "wchar_t" support on Windows

[Yves Bailly]

Greetings all,

When building projects on Windows using Visual C++, I see the option
-Zc:wchar_t- is set in QMAKE_CFLAGS in %QMAKESPEC%/qmake.conf. This
option tells the compiler to *not* consider "wchar_t" as a native type,
therefore it has to be defined somewhere (typically as an "unsigned short").
This is for either Visual 2005, 2008 or 2010.

I couldn't find any "good" reason for this, does someone have any hint?

Regards,
