[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH v14 1/5] libavutil: Add wchartoutf8(), wchartoansi(), utf8toansi() and getenv_utf8()

[Nil Admirari]

wchartoutf8() converts strings returned by WinAPI into UTF-8,
which is FFmpeg's preffered encoding.

Some external dependencies, such as AviSynth, are still
not Unicode-enabled. utf8toansi() converts UTF-8 strings
into ANSI in two steps: UTF-8 -> wchar_t -> ANSI.
wchartoansi() is responsible for the second step of the conversion.
Conversion in just one step is not supported by WinAPI.

Since these character converting functions allocate the buffer
of necessary size, they also facilitate the removal of MAX_PATH limit
in places where fixed-size ANSI/WCHAR strings were used
as filename buffers.

getenv_utf8() wraps _wgetenv() converting its input from
and its output to UTF-8. Compared to plain getenv(),
getenv_utf8() requires a cleanup.

Because of that, in places that only test the existence of
an environment variable or compare its value with a string
consisting entirely of ASCII characters, the use of plain getenv()
is still preferred. (libavutil/log.c check_color_terminal()
is an example of such a place.)

Plain getenv() is also preffered in UNIX-only code,
such as bktr.c, fbdev_common.c, oss.c in libavdevice
or af_ladspa.c in libavfilter.
