I am not sure if your problem is identical to one I recently had to solve. XRE_InitEmbedding2Type on Windows uses ReadDependentCB() and TS_tfopen() internally (implemented in nsXPCOMGlue.cpp. In the 2 helpers, which both take char* parameters, the MultibyteToWideChar conversion used the CP_UTF8 flag. If your path contains MBCS double byte characters then this conversion will produce garbage.
The 'fix' I used here was to was to call lcid() to get the current locale and pass that value to MultibyteToWideChar instead of CP_UTF8. This works when the correct locale is set (Region & language) but will still fail if you have mixed DBCS character strings. I suspect the right thing to do here is actually modify the embedding API to use wchar_t for filenames etc, which is how things are (correctly) handled within the main codebase. -----Original Message----- From: dev-embedding [mailto:dev-embedding-bounces+g4=novadsp....@lists.mozilla.org] On Behalf Of bhargava.animes...@gmail.com Sent: 14 August 2014 14:09 To: dev-embedding@lists.mozilla.org Subject: Re: Issues with chrome.manifest when installed in path having japanese characters In our code , we are having following snippet : rv = NS_NewNativeLocalFile(nsEmbedCString((char *)filepath), PR_FALSE, getter_AddRefs(libxul)); if (NS_FAILED(rv)) { throw BALBrowserException(); } rv = NS_NewNativeLocalFile( nsEmbedCString((char *)filepath), PR_FALSE, getter_AddRefs(appDir)); if(NS_FAILED(rv)) { throw BALBrowserException(); } rv = XRE_InitEmbedding(libxul, appDir, 0); rv in each case is NS_OK . After execution of 'XRE_InitEmbedding(libxul, appDir, 0); ' we are getting the chrome.manifest error. I have checked filepath ( containing japanese characters) , it is correct. Is there any other way by which we can register our JS and binary components ? I'll log a bug separately and cc you. _______________________________________________ dev-embedding mailing list dev-embedding@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-embedding _______________________________________________ dev-embedding mailing list dev-embedding@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-embedding
