Just a minor note, but the view.c test won’t compile
on AIX 5.2 without a bit of a hack. This is because it ends up including
<sys/ioctl.h>, which in turn includes <sys/ttychars.h>, which
defines the macro CTRL. This causes the xlc compiler to halt telling us that
the CTRL macro is already defined in test.priv.h and cannot be redefined. A
minor fix, I am sure. This is ncurses 5.4 with patches up to ../../ncurses-5.4-20040306.patch,
but this also fails on previous versions. Ncurses also seems to work fine in 64
bit mode on AIX 5.2, in case anyone wants to know ;-)
My next question is whether there are currently any plans
to add wchar support to the menu and form/field processing code? If there aren’t
then I might be willing to add it, but I don’t want to duplicate any
efforts. The wchar versions of the other functions seem to work fine – I wondered
if there was any reason this had not been extended into forms and menus - other
than time?
