Date: Mon, 21 Jan 2013 22:48:44 +0900

The below code returns unexpected result in turnk on Windows.

(let ((file-name-coding-system 'cp932))
  (expand-file-name "表" "C:/"))

-> "c:/\225/"

dostounix_filename does not support cp932 encoded string, which could
contain '\\' as the part of Kankji characters.  By the fix for
Bug#12933, dostounix_filename could receive such string.  In
addition, that change also let the below code fail.

(let ((file-name-coding-system 'cp1252))
  (expand-file-name "漢字" "C:/"))

-> "c:/  "

Thanks, I will work on fixing this.

Before that fix, dostounix_filename would indeed accept such file
names, but what it did with them was exhibiting undefined behavior,
because it treated multibyte strings in Emacs internal representation
as if they were simple unibyte strings.

IMO, this snippet doesn't make sense and cannot be supported.
expand-file-name calls a number of system APIs which need the file
name be encoded, so using file-name-coding-system that cannot possibly
encode a file name is not supposed to work.

Do you have a real-life situation where such cases emerge and need to
be supported?

Please try the changes below (relative to the emacs-24 branch).  If no
issues are found with them, I will soon install them on the release
branch.

Agreed.  On Japanese Windows, Emacs had been able to treat file name
strings correctly in many years accidentally.

 None for me, sorry for inappropriate example.  But the docstring of
 w32-downcase-file-names says it affects remote file names and the fix
 for Bug#12933 also affects other functions without using system APIs
 (e.g., file-name-directory).  I guess it would be better that these
 functions (except ones using system APIs) didn't depend on codepage.
 Does Emacs neither support the below code?

 (let ((file-name-coding-system 'cp1252))
   (file-name-directory "漢字/"))

-> "  /"

As far as I tested, the problem was fixed.  Thank you.

On Windows, file-name-directory and similar functions do call system
APIs, for 2 reasons: (1) down-casing file names under
w32-downcase-file-names, and (2) advancing by characters in DBCS
locales, which can only be supported if file-name-coding-system is one
of the codepages known to Windows.

Well, "漢字/" is not a remote file name, so it is still subject to the
limitation that only file names that can be encoded by the
file-name-coding-system are supported.  But even using a remote file
name, such as "/foo <at> bar.com:漢字/", gets butchered by
file-name-directory.  However, this is a much broader issue, related
to Tramp and to other non-Windows specific aspects of file-name
handling, so I will start a discussion about that on emacs-devel.
Thanks for bringing up this point.
