Thanks for your reply. Does anyone know, will it be added into
D2's standard library?
p.s. About the code, I don't know how it work on other platform,
but on windows it will get a bad result if the path contains any
non-ASCII character and D1's char[] is UTF-8 encoded.
GetModuleFileNameA will get a string encoded as the ACP setting
but not UTF-8. ASCII character is well compatible with most
character sets (Windows' ACP setting) including UTF-8. But once a
non-ASCII character in the path (like me, a Chinese user, a lot
Chinese characters namd dirs on my PC, ACP is 936--GBK), it
fails. Better way is to use GetModuleFileNameW and wchar[] then
convert back to char[].
Anyway, thank you very much!
