Hi Sebastian Redl, you wrote:

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.
