Could an implementation decide that characters in the execution character set are just the values of char? wchar_t could be 8 bits. The source character set could be utf-8 encoded unicode, and the characters in the execution character set would be the bytes of the utf-8 sequence. Would this violate "In a character constant or string literal, members of the execution character set shall be represented by corresponding members of the source character set […]" from 5.2.1? Unfortunately, that would mean that functions like mbrtoc32() couldn't convert to UTF-32 anymore, since they are supposed to read and interpret only one multibyte character at a time. Any other problems? Philipp P.S.: So far, all this wide character stuff in the C standard still doesn't make sense to me yet.
