Nothing. Just use always the UNICODE API, rather than the ANSI API:
#include <sys/cygwin.h>
DWORD
my_GetFileAttributes (const char *cygwin_multibyte_filename)
{
DWORD attr = INVALID_FILE_ATTRIBUTES;
PWCHAR w32_filename = cygwin_create_path (CCP_POSIX_TO_WIN_W,
cygwin_multibyte_filename);
if (w32_filename)
{
attr = GetFileAttributes (w32_filename);
free (w32_filename);
}
return attr;
}
