From: "costas.argyris at gmail dot com" <gcc-bugzilla@gcc.gnu.org> To: gcc-bugs@gcc.gnu.org Subject: [Bug driver/108865] New: gcc on Windows fails with Unicode path to source file Date: Mon, 20 Feb 2023 21:11:20 +0000 [thread overview] Message-ID: <bug-108865-4@http.gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/> (raw) https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=108865 Bug ID: 108865 Summary: gcc on Windows fails with Unicode path to source file Product: gcc Version: unknown Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: driver Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: costas.argyris at gmail dot com Target Milestone: --- From Windows Command Prompt, temp has a subfolder named ﹏ (https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+FE4F) with a source file in it. Try to compile it: C:\Users\cargyris\temp>gcc ﹏\src.c gcc: error: ?\src.c: Invalid argument gcc: fatal error: no input files compilation terminated. Note how ﹏ was destroyed into ? The problem starts all the way from gcc's main function at gcc-main.cc The main function is the normal one which takes char *argv[], that is, it takes its command-line arguments as char-based strings. On Windows, this means that the arguments will be interpreted using the local Windows ANSI codepage, and, as a result, the ﹏ character gets destroyed right from the start - gcc never sees it correctly. The way to see the Unicode args properly would be to use wmain instead of main, which takes wchar_t *argv[] and uses UTF-16. Would it ever be considered to change main to wmain when compiling for Windows + mingw-w64 in order to achieve support for Unicode paths on Windows? There is also another solution outside of gcc: Changing the ANSI code page to UTF-8. This can be done either on a global system level (for the whole Windows OS) or on a per-process level, specifically targeting gcc to use UTF-8 as it's ANSI code page. These approaches require user intervention though, whereas if the Unicode main was used (wmain) things would just work with Unicode paths without the user having to do anything special.
