[ace-users] ACE_TCHAR use in ACE_OS

[Stew Paddaso]

I noticed that certain functions in the ACE_OS namespace mix char, wchar_t,
and ACE_TCHAR. For example, there are 2 versions of fopen:

 

FILE* fopen (const char *filename, const ACE_TCHAR *mode);

FILE* fopen (const wchar_t *filename, const ACE_TCHAR *mode);

 

Why is this?  Why isn't there a single fopen function defined as:

 

FILE* fopen (const ACE_TCHAR *filename, const ACE_TCHAR *mode);

 

Thanks.
