>From what I can tell, L"" is good in C89 (although the result of
concatenating a wide string and a narrow string is undefined). However, the
width of wchar_t is implementation-dependent, and may have a width anywhere
between that of char and unsigned long (though, in practice, it is likely
to be a synonym for an integer type that has at least a 16-bit
representation, such as short or unsigned short). Whereas WCHAR is set to
have a width of sixteen bits. So I think this is why the L-prefix form is
not portable.
Thanks for helping me down this road of discovery.
