Could you be more specific? Is it that the Unicode version is not set by
default? Considering that Druntime does not support Windows 9x, the
default should probably be changed to use the Unicode APIs in the
Druntime bindings.
In the Win32 headers the ASCII version is the default and -DUNICODE
selects the UNICODE version. e.g.
#ifdef UNICODE
#define CreateFile CreateFileW
#else
#define CreateFile CreateFileA
#endif // !UNICODE
But, this was for backward compatibility reasons primarily.
I believe it's more efficient to call the UNICODE versions on the more
modern windows operating systems. So, based on the platform selected
(using _WIN32_WINNT or similar) we should default to the most appropriate
version.
