[CLucene-dev] Why FSDirectory uses char instead of TCHAR ?

[Itamar Syn-H. <it...@di...>]

Hey all,

I was wondering why FSDirectory uses char instead of TCHAR? Since CLucene is
Unicode aware, I was expecting it to behave the same when it comes to FS
paths (since Windows for example handles all strings as Unicode internally).
Is there a specific reason it was made that way? Is it safe to just convert
all the occurences of char to TCHAR and all str* function calls to their
tcs* version (and _mkdir to _tmkdir etc)? Should I expect any bugs?

I'm targetting to Windows platforms only at this stage. The only exception
is the lucene::util::MD5String function, but I don't think its going to
raise any issues.

Itamar.
