A small problem about dealing with code.

[zjliu <zj...@fm365.com>]

Hello xerces-c-dev,
   What I am using is xerces-c-src_1_2_0.
   what xerces supports when it deal with file name is  Unicode.
   I have traced in to the program and found a problem in
   Win32Platformutils.cpp
   FileHandle XMLPlatformUtils::openFile(const XMLCh* const fileName).

   It has some comments like that and so does it deal with the code.
    //  Ok, this might look stupid but its a semi-expedient way to deal
    //  with a thorny problem. Shift-JIS and some other Asian encodings
    //  are fundamentally broken and map both the backslash and the Yen
    //  sign to the same code point. Transcoders have to pick one or the
    //  other to map '\' to Unicode and tend to choose the Yen sign. 
   //
    //  Unicode Yen or Won signs as directory separators will fail.
    //
    //  So, we will check this path name for Yen or won signs and, if they are
    //  there, we'll replace them with slashes.  

    But when I used a file name with Chinese Word,some Chinese word
    include the Yen or Won signs when used ::mbstowcs and ::wcstombs to
    convert the code.It converted a code which is part of a Chinese
    word to chForwardSlash,then the program broken.

    So I mean this method to deal with Japanese and Korea word is not
    good.And I think why use ::mbstowcs and  ::wcstombs,
    ::MultiByteToWideChar and ::WideCharToMultiByte may be better.
    Can I delete the part of program code to support Chinese words
    without  producing some other problems?
    
    
the following is the code I want to delete:

  const XMLCh* srcPtr = fileName;
    while (*srcPtr)
    {
        if (*srcPtr == chYenSign ||
            *srcPtr == chWonSign)
            break;
        srcPtr++;
    }
    
    //
    //  If we found a yen, then we have to create a temp file name. Else
    //  go with the file name as is and save the overhead.
    //
    if (*srcPtr)
    {
        tmpUName = XMLString::replicate(fileName);
        
        XMLCh* tmpPtr = tmpUName;
        while (*tmpPtr)
        {
            if (*tmpPtr == chYenSign ||
                *tmpPtr == chWonSign)
                *tmpPtr = chForwardSlash;
            tmpPtr++;
        }
        nameToOpen = tmpUName;
    }
