           Summary: Phobos doesn't correctly parse command-line arguments
                    containing international characters
           Product: D
           Version: 1.013
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Phobos
        AssignedTo: bugzilla at digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: thecybershadow at gmail.com


This simple program fails (with "file not found") when it's given a filename
containing international characters. I believe this is because Phobos assumes
that the OS sends them as UTF-8...

import std.stdio;
import std.file;

void main(char[][] argv)
{
        char[] data = cast(char[]) read(argv[1]);
        writef("%s", data);
}

Marked as P2 because it makes D command-line programs unusable with files
containing international characters.
