Hi.
Reading this blogpost.
,---- [ https://nullprogram.com/blog/2022/02/18/ ]
| The aged Emacs implementation is written in C rather than Lisp, steeped in
history with
| vestigial wrong turns. Emacs still only calls the “narrow” CreateProcessA
despite having
| every affordance to do otherwise, and uses the wrong encoding at that. A
personal source of
| headaches.
`----
There is a couple of doubts:
1. Should emacs replace CreateProcessA with CreateProcessW?
2. How Could the emacs-windows port have the right encoding when parsing
command line arguments?
Best Regards
