I'm happy if you agree to mention commit 8ddec24dea74. Furthermore, I understand that Visual Studio can print localized strings. But, there are two things that remain unclear: - Why are such messages tied to structure PCDs? Can Visual Studio *not* print the same kind of localized message in other cases? Like, what if you have a (VOID*) PCD and assign an L"..." string to it, in the platform DSC? I mean I always encourage patch authors to include as many details about the failure scenario in the commit message as they feel comfortable about. But the current commit message suggests the issue is specific to structure PCDs *only*. That's the confusing part. - You mention "I think for this case build tool does not need to handle the non-ascii characters so 'Ignore' will be enough." -- Sure, I guess for this particular case, "Ignore" could be OK -- but the method that's being modified bears the generic name "ExecuteCommand". What *else* is ExecuteCommand() used for? I'm not convinced that ignoring decoding errors in the standard output / standard error of the subprocess is acceptable in *all* cases. If there is no other use case for ExecuteCommand()'s standard output / standard error than to print them to the edk2 build log, then I agree "ignore" is tolerable. But I don't know if that's the only use case. If it is, it should be stated in the commit message. Thanks Laszlo -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
