[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #60306] Error running files in a folder containing letters that aren't encoded in system locale

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #24, bug #60306 (project octave):

I pushed a partial fix here that afaict will allow to execute files in the
current working directory even if it contains characters that cannot be
encoded in the locale charset:
https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/9f0649b4e912

The change will be part of Octave 7 which will probably be released some time
next year.

This still won't allow to add paths containing non-encodable characters to the
search path.

A "proper" fix will probably be to switch to using std::filesystem::canonical
(and get rid of all the work-arounds we currently have for Windows).
