Management of wchar_t (-wchar-t-type-is)

Specify the underlying data type of wchar_t

Description

Specify the underlying data type of wchar_t explicitly. If you do not specify this option, your choice of compiler determines the underlying type.

Set Option

User interface (desktop products only): In your project configuration, the option is on the Target & Compiler node.

User interface (Polyspace Platform, desktop products only): In your project configuration, the option is in the Edit Processor window. This window can be opened from the Target & Compiler node in the Build tab. See Processor Details.

Command line and options file: Use the option -wchar-t-type-is. See Command-Line Information.

Why Use This Option

The analysis associates a data type with wchar_t when you specify your compiler. If you use a compiler option that changes this default type, emulate your compiler option by using this analysis option.

Settings

Default: defined-by-compiler

defined-by-compiler

Your specification for Compiler (-compiler) determines the underlying type of wchar_t.

signed-short

The analysis considers signed short as the underlying type of wchar_t.

unsigned-short

The analysis considers unsigned short as the underlying type of wchar_t.

signed-int

The analysis considers signed int as the underlying type of wchar_t.

unsigned-int

The analysis considers unsigned int as the underlying type of wchar_t.

signed-long

The analysis considers signed long as the underlying type of wchar_t.

unsigned-long

The analysis considers unsigned long as the underlying type of wchar_t.
