Bug 2864

Summary: SDL_Main() does not get correctly encoded unicode arguments for console applications
Product: SDL Reporter: Jørgen Tjernø <jorgen>
Component: mainAssignee: Ryan C. Gordon <icculus>
Status: RESOLVED FIXED QA Contact: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Severity: normal    
Priority: P2 CC: icculus
Version: HG 2.1Keywords: triage-2.0.4
Hardware: All   
OS: Windows (All)   
Attachments: Define a wmain() that converts arguments to UTF8.

Description Jørgen Tjernø 2015-02-02 19:59:15 UTC 
SDLmain defines main(), which gets "?" instead of unicode characters for command line arguments.

The solution is to also define a wmain(), so that the linking application can use /ENTRYPOINT:wmainCRTStartup as an argument to LINK.exe and get a unicode entrypoint that correctly handles these characters.

This looks reasonable to me. Do you still have push access?

Marking a large number of bugs with the "triage-2.0.4" keyword at once. Sorry if you got a lot of email from this. This is to help me sort through some bugs in regards to a 2.0.4 release. We may or may not fix this bug for 2.0.4, though!

I put this in revision control: https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/2e624f24d1af
