#830: Use wide Windows APIs in Cabal -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Reporter: batterseapower | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: HEAD Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: | -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- As part of my work on GHC's Unicode support (http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Status/Encoding-Tickets) I identified some potential Unicode problems in Cabal install. The attached patch resolves them: 1. Use wide (UTF-16) APIs to retrieve file paths 2. Use withFilePath (from base) when marshalling a file path, as this will do the Right Thing when my changes are committed, though it is functionally equivalent to withCAString right now. Patch attached. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/830> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects
