Re: non-ASCII filepaths in a C function

I believe the native representation for FilePaths on Windows should be UTF16 strings. Regards, Malcolm

In my 'soxlib' package I have written a binding to

sox_format_t * sox_open_read( char const * path, sox_signalinfo_t const * signal, sox_encodinginfo_t const * encoding, char const * filetype);

I construct the C filepath "path" from a Haskell FilePath using Foreign.C.String.withCString. This works for ASCII and non-ASCII characters in Linux. However, non-ASCII characters let sox_open_read fail on Windows. What is the correct way to convert FilePath to "char *"? _______________________________________________ Libraries mailing list Libraries@haskell.org http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/libraries
