12 #ifdef __cplusplus
15 * C++11 introduces a char16_t type and support for UTF-16 string and character
16 * literals. C++11's char16_t is a distinct builtin type. Technically, char16_t
17 * is a 16-bit code unit of a Unicode code point, not a "character".
20 #ifdef _MSC_VER
22 * C++11 says char16_t is a distinct builtin type, but Windows's yvals.h
23 * typedefs char16_t as an unsigned short. We would like to alias char16_t
24 * to Windows's 16-bit wchar_t so we can declare UTF-16 literals as constant
25 * expressions (and pass char16_t pointers to Windows APIs). We #define
26 * _CHAR16T here in order to prevent yvals.h from overriding our char16_t
27 * typedefs, which we set to wchar_t for C++ code.
29 * In addition, #defining _CHAR16T will prevent yvals.h from defining a
30 * char32_t type, so we have to undo that damage here and provide our own,
31 * which is identical to the yvals.h type.

53 * Win32 API extensively uses wchar_t, which is represented by a separated
54 * builtin type than char16_t per spec. It's not the case for MSVC, but GCC
55 * follows the spec. We want to mix wchar_t and char16_t on Windows builds.
56 * This class is supposed to make it easier. It stores char16_t const pointer,
57 * but provides implicit casts for wchar_t as well. On other platforms, we
58 * simply use |typedef const char16_t* char16ptr_t|. Here, we want to make
59 * the class as similar to this typedef, including providing some casts that
60 * are allowed by the typedef.
