MB_LEN_MAX — maximum multibyte length of a character across all locales
#include <limits.h>
The MB_LEN_MAX
macro is the
upper bound for the number of bytes needed to represent a
single wide character, across all locales.
The entities MB_LEN_MAX
and
sizeof(wchar_t)
are
totally unrelated. In glibc, MB_LEN_MAX
is typically 6 while sizeof(wchar_t)
is 4.
