[Audiere-users] Unicode for audiere OpenFile?

[g***@gmx.at]

Hi,

when I'm using a FilePtr to open a sound from a file I use the OpenSound
function:
File* OpenFile(const char* filename, bool writeable)

unfortunately this function only accepts char arrays. We are using unicode
strings through the whole application and it's quite annoying that we have
to convert these strings to chars - so unicode filenames won't work. Any
solutions?

best regards,
Alex

That function is merely a convenience, and it only supports 8-byte character
filenames, as you said. The "correct" solution would involve writing your own
function, OpenFileW, perhaps, with the following definition:

class MyFile : public Audiere::File {
// copy the implementation of File from Audiere
};

File* OpenFileW(const wchar_t* filename, bool writeable) {
// Copy OpenFile's definition, but use _wfopen instead.
}

Then you could submit it back to Audiere. :)

Cheers,
Chad
