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, in any of the supported locales.
The entities MB_LEN_MAX and
sizeof(wchar_t) are
totally unrelated. In glibc, MB_LEN_MAX is typically 16 (6 in glibc
versions earlier than 2.2) while sizeof(wchar_t) is 4.
