Andrew Schwartzmeyer created MESOS-7335:
-------------------------------------------
Summary: 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
Priority: Minor
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 muse 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,
Steve Wishnousky
