https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14474 Issue ID: 14474 Summary: Use UTF-8 encoding for cmdfile Product: D Version: D2 Hardware: x86 OS: Windows Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: DMD Assignee: nobody puremagic.com Reporter: davispuh gmail.com Currently `dmd cmdfile` will read file as simple char string. But when DUB is compiling and creating this file it always saves it in UTF-8. This makes a problem when cmdfile contains paths (source files) with non-ASCII paths/names and thus DMD interprets them incorrectly (it always uses WinAPI ANSI functions which expects them to be encoded in Windows default ANSI code page) Such cmdfile file with non-ASCII paths encoded as UTF-8 will produce "Error: cannot read file" One solution could be to change DUB to save it in Windows default ANSI code page, but I think that's a very bad idea because then that file won't be portable. So best would be to enforce it being in UTF-8 encoding and then decode in DMD for respective code page which is used for WinAPI calls. --
