System: NetBSD wubba.CS.Princeton.EDU 1.6_RC1 NetBSD 1.6_RC1 (WUBBA) #2: Tue Aug 20 12:15:41 EDT 2002 richards@wubba.CS.Princeton.EDU:/home/richards/kern i386
Architecture: i386
Machine: i386
>Description:
	NetBSD lacks the following types and functions described by
	ISO C99 section 7.25, "Wide-character classification and
	mapping	utilities <wctype.h>":

	Types:
		scalar wctrans_t
		scalar wctype_t

	Functions:
		int iswctype(wint_t wc, wctype_t desc);
		wctype_t wctype(const char *property);

		wint_t towctrans(wint_t wc, wctrans_t desc);
		wctrans_t wctrans(const char *property);
>How-To-Repeat:
	Attempt to compile (for example) bash-2.05b.  That package
	includes, via the use of wctype(3), wide-character support,
	and tests for the presence of wctype.h to enable such support.
	The compile fails, as NetBSD's wctype.h is incomplete.
>Fix:
	None, at the moment.
