MPI_file_open on Windows with UTF-16 path

[Frank_R_1]

Hi,

How to use MPI_File_open on Windows if one wants to read and write files in a folder which has non ascii letters. E.g. "D:\path with ä ü ö"

There is no wchar* version of MPI_File_open for Windows UTF-16

Thank you and best regards

Frank

Does no one else encounter this problem?

Why is there no wchar* version of this function on Windows?

Best regards

Frank

@Frank_R_1  no customer ever requested that - I will discuss with the team and come back to you

Hi,

What about Japanese or Chinese folder names. General unicode folder names should work on Windows.

Let's see what comes out from development discussion.

Best regards
