Win32: support full unicode in filenames (use Wide-system calls) #9578
Comments
From abraendle@gmx.deOS: Windows XP (German); cp1252 There are 2 problems with encoding of filenames on windows: Note: the error may be invisible if the function that uses the filename again 2) Unicode chars are not possible Since perl supports utf8 strings internally, the filenames should be correct utf8 strings NTFS supports unicode filenames, and winapi has "Wide-system calls" (suffix W, So, perl should switch to use these Wide-system calls (only a UCS2 <=> utf8 conversion remains to be done), [Active Perl 5.8.8, 5.10.0] Flags: |
abraendle@gmx.de - Status changed from 'new' to 'open' |
