A value of 0 as WCHAR_MIN in the unsigned case has the wrong type if 
wchar_t promotes to unsigned int / unsigned long (as opposed to, say, if 
it's unsigned short promoting to signed int).  glibc (2.18 and later) uses 
(L'\0' + 0) (if __WCHAR_MIN__ isn't predefined) in the unsigned case to 
get the correct promoted version of wchar_t, and similar constructs 
involving + L'\0' for WCHAR_MAX to get the right type in those cases as 
well.

In general, you need to make sure these constants have the right type, 
being the promoted version of the type to which the macros refer, 
including int/long differences even when those have the same 
representation and alignment - and, for C++, distinguishing the distinct 
wchar_t type from the type to which it promotes (the latter being the 
right type for such constants) - not just the right value.  In #if 
expressions they need the same value and signedness as in normal C/C++ 
code (this means that (L'\0' - 1) is not a correct expression for 
WCHAR_MAX in the unsigned case because in #if expressions it would 
evaluate to UINTMAX_MAX).
