Data type mappings

These data-type mappings are defined in TCHAR.H and depend on whether the constant _UNICODE or _MBCS has been defined in your program.

For related information, see Using TCHAR.H Data Types with _MBCS Code.

Generic-text data type mappings

Generic-text data type name	SBCS (_UNICODE, _MBCS not defined)	_MBCS defined	_UNICODE defined
_TCHAR	char	char	wchar_t
_tfinddata_t	_finddata_t	_finddata_t	_wfinddata_t
_tfinddata64_t	__finddata64_t	__finddata64_t	_wfinddata64_t
_tfinddatai64_t	_finddatai64_t	_finddatai64_t	_wfinddatai64_t
_TINT	int	int	wint_t
_TSCHAR	signed char	signed char	wchar_t
_TUCHAR	unsigned char	unsigned char	wchar_t
_TXCHAR	char	unsigned char	wchar_t
_T or _TEXT	No effect (removed by preprocessor)	No effect (removed by preprocessor)	L (converts following character or string to its Unicode counterpart)
