To convert an ASCII string to Unicode, you can use the function HEAP_strdupAtoW, as in:
Wrong ;-)
Yeah, I know, Huw already set me straight on that. ^_^
HEAP_str* is deprecated (the header file says so). Use MultiByteToWideChar() or WideCharToMultiByte() instead.
I'll admit I wrote the email when my brain wasn't quite working (by def'n anytime after 1am), thought to myself "what is that API again?", did a quick search in WINE, said to myself "oh HEAP_strdupAtoW" sent a quick email and went to bed. :) That teaches me to send email without thinking.
But that gets me to my point. HEAP_strdupAtoW is used in this capacity 78 times in the WINE source tree (WtoA another 182 times). We should probably change it sometime, since a lot of people who are writing new code are sure to use the current code base as an example of "how to do things".
Out of curiosity, why are we killing these macros? They seem quite convenient. If it is because they aren't in standard windows headers, can't we put them somewhere in include/wine?
