From 11d51ca63184b760e2537bbe08c5ca4c63bd4854 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vicent Marti Date: Wed, 26 Oct 2011 16:43:55 -0700 Subject: windows: Add support for non-UTF codepages Our previous assumption that all paths in Windows are encoded in UTF-8 is rather weak, specially when considering that Git is encoding-agnostic. These set of functions allow the user to change the library's active codepage globally, so it is possible to access paths and files on all international versions of Windows. Note that the default encoding here is UTF-8 because we assume that 99% of all Git repositories will be in UTF-8. Also, if you use non-ascii characters in paths, anywhere, please burn on a fire. --- include/git2/windows.h | 59 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 59 insertions(+) create mode 100644 include/git2/windows.h (limited to 'include/git2/windows.h') diff --git a/include/git2/windows.h b/include/git2/windows.h new file mode 100644 index 000000000..6a2e9e2cd --- /dev/null +++ b/include/git2/windows.h @@ -0,0 +1,59 @@ +/* + * Copyright (C) 2009-2011 the libgit2 contributors + * + * This file is part of libgit2, distributed under the GNU GPL v2 with + * a Linking Exception.
