#12971: Paths are encoded incorrectly when invoking GCC ---------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: erikprantare | Owner: Phyx Type: bug | Status: new Priority: highest | Milestone: 8.2.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Windows | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | ---------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Comment (by Phyx-): Ok, this issue is an upstream one. The problem is with how the response files are read into GCC. We write out a UTF8 file but the relevant code in `libiberty`[1] assumes 1 byte per character. It works fine if response files aren't used since the rest of the argument handling code seems to work fine with utf-16 and utf-8. Assuming we want to keep the response files, one possible work around would be to convert all paths to the dos short paths.
