Hi Gary,
The proposed changes you mentioned will lock muParser into using wchar; sort of the opposite of my workaround. Plus it's a lot more code.
Most Windows programs are UTF-16 (wchar) codepage by default, since the XP days. Programs made for Unix-style environs are generally UTF-8 (char, MBCS encoding) cause that was Ken Thompson's design and it didn't break programs built for ANSI.
The correct solution is to rewrite the offending math cpps in a way that allows them compile for either.
Armin @LordOfBikes,
I can make the necessary changes if that's the way the project wants to go, and I can do it in a cross-platform way. Say the word and I will make it so.
