I think the last sentence was missing a „not“ and referring to the same manifest?
However the results are a bit of a mess, but utf-8 handling for argv would be great plus (if converted correctly), right? -- http://bernd.eckenfels.net ________________________________ Von: core-libs-dev <core-libs-dev-r...@openjdk.java.net> im Auftrag von Magnus Ihse Bursie <magnus.ihse.bur...@oracle.com> Gesendet: Tuesday, October 5, 2021 10:34:26 AM An: John Platts <john_pla...@hotmail.com>; core-libs-dev <core-libs-dev@openjdk.java.net> Betreff: Re: Implementing JEP 400 on Windows 10 and Windows 11 On 2021-10-05 03:22, John Platts wrote: > I wrote a test program (in C++) to detect the codepages that would be > returned by the GetACP(), GetOEMCP(), and GetConsoleCP() functions when the > <utf8:activeCodePage>UTF-8</utf8:activeCodePage> setting is added to the > manifest. > > The <utf8:activeCodePage> manifest element (supported on Windows 10 Version > 1903 or later) is in the > http://schemas.microsoft.com/SMI/2019/WindowsSettings namespace and is added > to the asmv3:WindowsSettings element as shown below: > <asmv3:windowsSettings > xmlns:dpi1="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SMI/2005/WindowsSettings" > > xmlns:dpi2="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SMI/2016/WindowsSettings" > > xmlns:utf8="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SMI/2019/WindowsSettings"> > <dpi1:dpiAware>true/PM</dpi1:dpiAware> > <dpi2:dpiAwareness>PerMonitorV2, PerMonitor, system</dpi2:dpiAwareness> > <utf8:activeCodePage>UTF-8</utf8:activeCodePage> > </asmv3:windowsSettings> > > Here is the output of the test program without the > <utf8:activeCodePage>UTF-8</utf8:activeCodePage> setting present in the > executable manifest: > GetACP() result: 1252 > GetOEMCP() result: 437 > GetConsoleCP() result: 437 > System default LCID: 1033 > User default LCID: 1033 > User default UI LCID: 1033 > Codepage from system default LCID: 1252 > Codepage from user default LCID: 1252 > Codepage from user default UI LCID: 1252 > > Here is the output of the same test program with an executable manifest that > includes the <utf8:activeCodePage>UTF-8</utf8:activeCodePage> setting: > GetACP() result: 65001 > GetOEMCP() result: 65001 > GetConsoleCP() result: 437 > System default LCID: 1033 > User default LCID: 1033 > User default UI LCID: 1033 > Codepage from system default LCID: 1252 > Codepage from user default LCID: 1252 > Codepage from user default UI LCID: 1252 > > Note that the <utf8:activeCodePage>UTF-8</utf8:activeCodePage> setting in the > application manifest changes the results of the GetACP() and GetOEMCP() calls > but not the GetConsoleCP() call. This is really confusing.

I'm not sure I understand this. What is the difference between "the application manifest" and "the UTF-8 manifest"? /Magnus
