Re: [WiX-devs] Unicode support for WcaLog

How would I attend triage "in person"? Is there a phone number I candial into?

I have not executed an assignment agreement, so how would I go aboutdoing that?


Thanks,
Keith

Also, make sure that you have executed an assignment agreement. Ask onthis list if you haven't, yet.

If you can attend triage, it's always appreciated to be able toexplain in person.

    In 3.x I believe that you must retain the current method
    signatures (but you could add new method signatures for the UTF-16
    strings). You could, however, reimplement them in terms of their
    wide-string counterparts (which use new signatures). Remember that
    you also have to maintain "C" support, so the new wide-string
    signatures have to have a different name.

    In 4.x, I would say do the A/W suffix thing on all the entry
    points with the usual define based on the compiler's string
    setting. You could do the same thing for 3.x, except you would
    have to define the old names to always be "ANSI" (to not break
    existing code).

    Open a feature request and triage will give you the actual rules
    to follow (if you wish to implement this for 3.x be sure to ask
    about A/W defaults).
