Can anyone confirm if TProcessUTF8 handles unicode parameters under windows?
I'm using Win 8 64bit/Laz 32 bit trunk/FPC Trunk. I'm struggling here with no unicode background, reading madly and hunting away... http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/LCL_Unicode_Support makes it clear FPC is not unicode aware, though good improvements are being made in trunk... I've traced through the code as best I can - TProcessUTF8 descends from TProcess. The overriden .Execute in TProcessUTF8, calls TProcess.Execute. Inside TProcess.Execute (win\process.inc) CreateProcess is called (which looks very much like it calls CreateProcessA, not CreateProcessW). And all the relevant parameters involved are PChars, whereas I think CreateProcessW will require PWideChars, confirming the CreateProcessA suspicion. As I understand things, we'll need TProcess to be unicode aware before TProcessUTF8 itself is fully unicode aware.... My issue is down to a unicode filename being passed through as a parameter Var FPlayerProcess: TProcessUTF8; ... FPlayerProcess.Executable:=FMPlayerPath; FPlayerProcess.Parameters.Add(AnsiToUTF8(Filename)); mplayer is reporting it can't find a corrupted version of the Filename I pass through. Works just fine with non-unicode filenames... (and I can pass mplayer the unicode filename in Command Prompt and it works there) If someone could confirm my suspicions that TProcessUTF8 is likely the problem, I'll stop trying to fix the code at my end, and just put this down as a known issue for now (sure, and I'll log an item in the bugtracker though I can't see how to easily create a small test :) )... OTOH, if I'm completely wrong, I'll continue to slog away... Many thanks Mike T
