Description

The C++ '98 function wcslen() required to be declared in <wchar.h> and <cwchar> is not declared in our version of the former header when compiling with EDG eccp on SuSE Linux 9. The function is declared in <cwchar> as expected.

$ cat t.cpp && make t
#include <wchar.h>

int main ()
{
    return wcslen (L"");
}
