https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/stringapiset/nf-stringapiset-multibytetowidechar states about MultiByteToWideChar : "The function returns 0 if it does not succeed" and lists a few failure cases. However we miss checking the failure case in Java_sun_awt_shell_Win32ShellFolder2_getLinkLocation , seems we assume the function always works nicely (in most of the JDK coding the return value is checked ).
