Re^3: unicode version of readdir

[demerphq]

The problem with this particular issue (as ive said elsewhere) is that the interface for the routines (which ARE completely pluggable) does not include a way to pass the fact that the strings are unicode back to the calling code. They are all based around crude UNIX style char * interfaces.

So in this case I wouldnt expect the kind of thing you are referring to to come up, it will just be such a big job with such huge ramifications that it wont happen until 5.12 at least. :-(

I guess im one of the tame win32 users. Although anybody that knows me well knows that 'tame' is not the best description. ;-)
