CRT functions like printf

[be5invis]

MSVCRT functions are separated into ANSI and UNICODE either.

This would be quite difficult to implement. Not only there are about 100 printf variations, there are also many different versions of crt. Also this won't work with statically linked crt for obvious reasons.

Wait... This project is not a library for writing new programs?

[Amaroq-Clearwater]

@be5invis It's for modifying existing programs.

It's for both modifying existing programs and writing new ones. thcrap's components delibarately choose to use win32_utf8 internally while thcrap itself will inject it into other programs aka make other programs use win32_utf8 against their will

On Windows 10, you can call setlocale(LC_ALL, ".UTF8") at the beginning of main() to make almost every CRT functions use UTF-8. See here.

However, we support older Windows, going back all the way to XP

I know a few developers whom are targeting platforms like Wine and ReactOS, so adding support for these functions might be helpful to them.
