The POSIX compatibility layer provided by the Microsoft C Runtime Library
treats its string arguments as if they were passed to the A-family of WinAPI
functions, which means that they undergo conversion to the ACP before being
passed to the actual WinAPI call. Passing UTF-8 encoded strings could have
never really worked.
This commit uses "wide" (i.e. UTF-16) commandline arguments when launching the
program on Windows, and uses the "wide" Windows APIs when dealing with strings.
This makes it independent from the currently selected active code page on the
system, and hopefully fixes issues with "nonstandard" characters appearing in
file and directory paths.
Fixes#172.
The repository now contains a clang-format file which should be used when committing new code. Additionally, a new workflow job is added which checks the conformance of source files to the specified formatting rules.
Fixes#47.
