+ // According to the C99 standard (7.19.6.1 "The fprintf function")
+ // The format shall be a multibyte character sequence
+ //
+ // Because some character encodings might have '%' signs in the middle of
+ // a multibyte sequence (SJIS for example only specifies that the first
+ // byte of a 2 byte sequence is "high", the second byte can be anything),
+ // printf functions have to decode the multibyte sequences and try their
+ // best to not screw up.
+ //
+ // Unfortunately, on Windows, the locale for most languages is not UTF-8
+ // as we would need. Notably, for zh_TW, Windows chooses EUC-CN as the
+ // locale, and completely fails when trying to decode UTF-8 as EUC-CN.
+ //
+ // On the other hand, the fix is simple: because we use UTF-8, no such
+ // multibyte handling is required as we can simply assume that no '%' char
+ // will be present in the middle of a multibyte sequence.
+ //
+ // This is why we lookup an ANSI (cp1252) locale here and use _vsnprintf_l.
