[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #49118] GUI editor cannot run file in folder name with umlaut

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #56, bug #49118 (project octave):

There's no need to create octave::sys::octave_mkdir since we already have
octave::sys::mkdir that also accepts a std::string argument.

The existing octave::sys::mkdir function does this:


... = octave_mkdir_wrapper (name.c_str (), mode);


Could we just modify our octave_mkdir_wrapper to handle calling the proper
function for wide characters?  If not, then I would just fix this
octave::sys::mkdir to call the appropriate function.

To handle the file name argument, your patch was doing this instead


_wmkdir (u8_to_wstring (name).c_str ());


Does the conversion have to happen at the std::string level?  Is it not
possible to apply the conversion function to the result of the name.c_str ()
function?
