           Summary: Broken getcwd when using GetCurrentDirectoryA
           Product: D
           Version: D1 & D2
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: Phobos
        AssignedTo: nobody puremagic.com
        ReportedBy: verylonglogin.reg gmail.com



---
On Windows 98 getcwd returnes path in windows multy-byte format (not ASCII),
but should convert it to utf-8 first. And it leads to utf-8 validation
exception in std.utf.

File: src\phobos\std\file.d

Trivial solution:

-1704:  auto dir =
            new char[enforce(GetCurrentDirectoryA(0, null), "getcwd")];
        dir = dir[0 .. GetCurrentDirectoryA(dir.length, dir.ptr)];
        cenforce(dir.length, "getcwd");
        return assumeUnique(dir);

+1704:  auto dirA =
            new char[enforce(GetCurrentDirectoryA(0, null), "getcwd")];
        GetCurrentDirectoryA(dirA.length, dirA.ptr);
        string dir = fromMBSz(cast(immutable)dirA.ptr);
        enforce(dir.length, "getcwd");
        return dir;

This is silly. Do you expect the Phobos library to work around every single
Windows bug for outdated Windows operating systems that not even Microsoft
supports?

Win98 support ended in 2006, I really don't see why anyone would care for this
OS, D isn't legacy software.

First. Why silly? If Phobos doesn't support Win98, why there are lots of code
to support if? If this code exists it should work. If Win98 realy isn't
supported, all such code should be removed.
Second. It isn't a bug of Win98. It's a bug of Phobos.
