Andrew Schwartzmeyer reassigned MESOS-7335:
-------------------------------------------
Assignee: Andrew Schwartzmeyer
> Blocked: Replace `wstring` with `u16string`
> -------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MESOS-7335
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-7335
> Project: Mesos
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: c++ api
> Environment: Windows 10
> Reporter: Andrew Schwartzmeyer
> Assignee: Andrew Schwartzmeyer
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: microsoft, unicode, windows
>
> The most correct C++ type for UTF-16 data is {{std::u16string}}, but due to a
> known bug in
> [MSVC|https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/Feedback/Details/1403302],
> the {{std::codecvt_utf8_utf16}} converter cannot be used with {{char16_t /
> u16string}} types, so we must use {{wchar_t / wstring}} types for now.

> I am deeply sorry for the statement I made about the availability of this
> fix. This is not fixed in Visual Studio 2017.
> This issue requires a binary breaking change to the VC++ libraries, so we
> cannot ship this fix in an update to the libraries. Visual Studio 2017
> shipped with v141 of the libraries, which is a minor update and binary
> compatible with v140 (the version shipped with Visual Studio 2015).
> This bug will be fixed in the next major version of the Visual C++ Libraries.
> Thanks,
