Bug 77809 – Use the wide character version of win32 API by default

• Component: WebKitGTK
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Kalev Lember]

Some win32 specific code makes the assumption that the build system is turning on the wide character win32 API. For example, PluginDatabaseWin.cpp uses wchar_t* as an argument to PathRemoveFileSpec(). Depending on whether _UNICODE and UNICODE are defined by the build system, it resolves to either PathRemoveFileSpecA(char *) or PathRemoveFileSpecW(wchar_t *). Now, since PluginDatabaseWin.cpp uses wchar_t* there, the A() version of the API can't work and we need to define _UNICODE and UNICODE to make it use the W() variant.

PluginDatabaseWin.cpp:397:50: error: cannot convert 'WCHAR* {aka wchar_t*}' to 'LPSTR {aka char*}' for argument '1' to 'BOOL PathRemoveFileSpecA(LPSTR)'

Reviewed by NOBODY (OOPS!).

Certain win32-specific files (like PluginDatabaseWin.cpp) make the
assumption that the wide character version of win32 API is the default.
Define _UNICODE and UNICODE to do this, similar to what other win32
ports are doing.
