Can I generate a 8.3 filename for a unicode filename and use that ASCII string of char's to open an fstream
in Windows?
I know that MSVC++ provides a wchar_t*
overload for fstream
, but GCC's libstdc++ does not provide this :(, so I need an alterna开发者_开发百科tive. I don't want to create my own streambuf class just for this, as it seems overkill.
You can probably leverage the Windows API function GetShortPathName
to give you the short name. You cannot "compute" the name algorithmically as there is no one-to-one correspondence between an arbitrary long name and a short name, and I don't think you can avoid using the Windows API for the translation.
