For many Win32 functions, there actually exist two variants: one that takes
const char * ("ANSI", meaning the current code page) and wchar_t *
("Unicode", i.e. UTF-16, at least for all practical matters).
These functions have "A" and "W" suffixes, respectively, e.g.
GetFileAttributesW(). The symbols without this suffix are #defined to the
*W() versions if the constant UNICODE is defined before including the
Windows headers, and to *A() otherwise.
Let's not rely on this constant, but explicitly say what we want: we want
the Unicode versions, as they seem to be used by the ANSI flavor anyway.
Johannes Schindelin (2):
mingw: get pw_name in UTF-8 format
mingw: use Unicode functions explicitly
