           Summary: Phobos doesn't correctly parse command-line arguments
                    containing international characters
           Product: D
           Version: 1.013
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Phobos
        AssignedTo: bugzilla@digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: thecybershadow@gmail.com


This simple program fails (with "file not found") when it's given a filename containing international characters. I believe this is because Phobos assumes that the OS sends them as UTF-8...

import std.stdio;
import std.file;

void main(char[][] argv)
{
        char[] data = cast(char[]) read(argv[1]);
        writef("%s", data);
}

Marked as P2 because it makes D command-line programs unusable with files containing international characters.

Quick workaround: import std.windows.charset and add:

        foreach(ref arg;argv) arg = fromMBSz(arg.ptr);

at the beginning of main().

I have no idea why these patches were added to this issue, they were meant to be added to bug #3987...

Putting this task up for grabs as I don't have a Windows system to test on.
