[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #59269] dlmread error when file path have utf8 character

[Markus Mützel]

Update of bug #59269 (project octave):

                 Release:                   5.2.0 => 6.0.92

Follow-up Comment #13:

This particular error is already fixed for Octave 7 by using the `wchar_t`
overload to open file streams on Windows:
https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/159b6a1eb408

I'm considering grafting that change to stable (Octave 6).
Revisiting that changeset, I'd guess that there is only a low risk of error if
we would graft it to stable (even if it touches a lot of files).
The work-around at the moment is to avoid non-ASCII characters in file names
(at least in their first 6 bytes).

I'm tentatively setting the release to 6.0.92.

But on the long run, we'll probably need a more general fix for
`octave::sys::get_ASCII_filename`. That change should probably be done on the
default branch (Octave 7).
