EnableLogCleaner doesn't work

[ml232528]

glog v0.5.0 EnableLogCleaner doesn't work because opendir only supports English paths. Need to call setlocale (lc_all, ""); Can be used correctly。

Could you please provide a minimal example that shows the problem?

On Unix systems, opendir function should just pass raw bytes to kernel, without being affected by locale. For Windows, glog defines custom version of opendir function: https://github.com/google/glog/blob/b0174b3dda95be3858ec54570c1375f2f00e984e/src/windows/dirent.h#L672-L726 According to documentation, Windows version of mbstowcs_s function (called by dirent_mbstowcs_s function) supposedly uses current locale.

@ml232528: Do you use Windows?

setlocale (LC_ALL, ""), or rather setlocale (LC_CTYPE, "") if it is sufficient and working on Windows, should be probably in Windows-specific block of code somewhere:

#ifdef GLOG_OS_WINDOWS
  setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "");
#endif

@ml232528 It is not clear what kind of resolution do you expect here. Could you please also respond to @Arfrever's questions?

If that setlocale (LC_CTYPE, "") was to be added somewhere, probably appropriate place would be glog_internal_namespace_::InitGoogleLoggingUtilities (which is called by google::InitGoogleLogging).

I do not use Windows, so here is untested patch:

It is recommended to replace mbstowcs with multibytetowidechar and use the flag CP_ ACP,Example:

std::wstring As_WStringFromString(std::string const &s) {
	auto len = ::MultiByteToWideChar(CP_ACP, 0, s.c_str(), s.size(), NULL, 0);
	std::unique_ptr<WCHAR[]> result(new WCHAR[len + 1]);
	::MultiByteToWideChar(CP_ACP, 0, s.c_str(), s.size(), result.get(), len + 1);
	result.get()[len] = 0;
	return std::wstring(result.get());
}


std::string As_StringFromWstring(std::wstring const &s) {
	auto len = WideCharToMultiByte(CP_ACP, 0, s.c_str(), s.size(), nullptr, 0, nullptr, nullptr);
	std::unique_ptr<char[]> result(new char[len + 1]);
	WideCharToMultiByte(CP_ACP, 0, s.c_str(), s.size(), result.get(), len + 1, nullptr, nullptr);
	result.get()[len] = 0;
	return std::string(result.get());
}

std::string As_Utf8FromWstring(std::wstring const &s) {
	auto len = WideCharToMultiByte(CP_UTF8, 0, s.c_str(), s.size(), nullptr, 0, nullptr, nullptr);
	std::unique_ptr<char[]> result(new char[len + 1]);
	WideCharToMultiByte(CP_UTF8, 0, s.c_str(), s.size(), result.get(), len + 1, nullptr, nullptr);
	result.get()[len] = 0;
	return std::string(result.get());
}

Maybe you could create pull-request for glog? (You would need to firstly sign Google's Contributor License Agreement if not done already.)
