Greetings,
This issue is making my head flat from pounding it against the wall. It
appears to be a bug in Cygwin 1.7, but I can't say with any certainty. I've
been down too many dead end trails already...
With cygwin 1.7.5, cFileName with a special characters such as ñ (n with tidle
above it) fail be properly extracted from a WIN32_FIND_DATA structure with
findFirstFile (or findNextFile).
To set up a simple test scenario, I created a file in C:\Testing named
Mañana.docx. I compiled the code at the end of this message on Cygwin 1.7.9
with GCC version 3.4.4 on Server 2008 32 bit system. On this system (and on a
Windows 7 32 bit machine), it returns:
$ ./winfilestat3.exe
hFind filename is ***Ma▒ana.docx***
hFind file name stat return code is: -1
character 0 is M
character 0 is signed int 77, hex 4d
character 1 is a
character 1 is signed int 97, hex 61
character 2 is ▒
character 2 is signed int -15, hex fffffff1
character 3 is a
character 3 is signed int 97, hex 61
character 4 is n
character 4 is signed int 110, hex 6e
character 5 is a
character 5 is signed int 97, hex 61
character 6 is .
character 6 is signed int 46, hex 2e
character 7 is d
character 7 is signed int 100, hex 64
character 8 is o
character 8 is signed int 111, hex 6f
character 9 is c
character 9 is signed int 99, hex 63
NOTE that the ñ is interpreted as ▒, and the stat fails.
I moved the compiled program to an old Server 2003 running Cygwin 1.5.25. It
CORRECTLY returns:
bash-3.2$ ./winfilestat3.exe
hFind filename is ***Mañana.docx***
hFind file name stat return code is: 0
character 0 is M
character 0 is signed int 77, hex 4d
character 1 is a
character 1 is signed int 97, hex 61
character 2 is ñ
character 2 is signed int -15, hex fffffff1
character 3 is a
character 3 is signed int 97, hex 61
character 4 is n
character 4 is signed int 110, hex 6e
character 5 is a
character 5 is signed int 97, hex 61
character 6 is .
character 6 is signed int 46, hex 2e
bash-3.2$
bash-3.2$
Note the ñ is correct, and the stat succeeds.
Is this a bug, or do I need to set something up special on Cygwin 1.7 to get it
to work the way it used to?
Thanks in advance,
Leon
