[LLVMdev] [cfe-dev] Unicode path handling on Windows

[Nikola Smiljanic]

OK since this approach makes sense I'll shoot with my questions :)

1. Where should get_utf8_argv go and is the name of this function OK? Right
now the function is inside llvm::sys::fs namespace because I need access to
Windows.h, should I leave it there.
2. get_utf8_argv allocates new char** representing utf8 argv, should I
deallocate this inside driver.cpp, use std::vector<std::string> instead or
ignore the allocation completely?
3. There is an #ifdef inside driver.cpp right now that I don't like.
get_utf8_argv works for windows only, but I could change the function to
accept argv and return it as vector of utf8 strings. It would convert char*
to std::string on unix and use GetCommandLine + utf8 conversion on windows.
4. Should I wrap functions like ::fstat and ::close for consistency even
though they don't work with paths?

I'll fix everything that is formatting related. You're right, current patch
has Open only for windows but I'll add the other one as well.

I don't understand what you meant by this? I'm aware that CommandLineToArgvW
has special interpretation of backslashes and quotes, but what should I
check exactly?
