Summary0013880: CMake GUI browser cannot handle Unicode paths
DescriptionThe CMake GUI browser fails to interpret or preserve file paths that contain unicode characters on Windows.
Steps To ReproduceOpen the CMake GUI and choose "Browse Source..." and select a directory that contains unicode characters, such as "TestWXY►ΦΦΘΩδ▲ ↔". It will appear in the text field as "TestWXY?FFTOd? ?", and it will be unable to read or write files from that folder.
Additional InformationPerhaps it is assuming that the C standard library functions use UTF-8, when they really only support ASCII or UTF-16.

Upon further investigation it appears that the problem occurs using the command-line interface as well.

Confirmed on Windows 7.

How to reproduce.

Find a simple CMake project, like https://github.com/jameskbride/cmake-hello-world [^] and clone or copy it under a directory named

      c:\temp\ффф\helloworld

Now try to use that directory as the Source directory in the Cmake GUI. It will display an error message.

Now, go to start, type cmd to open a console, then

      cd c:\temp\ффф\helloworld
      cmake .

An error will be produced

      the source directory" c:\temp\???\helloworld does not exist

Fixed by switching to utf-8 internally.
