Motivation / Problem
By attempting to support compiling both with and without
UNICODE
defined, it makes the code more complex to read and write. There probably aren't any compilers available that target Windows 95/98/ME and also support the languages features we want any more regardless, so may as well clean it up.Description
More or less a search first for uses of the
UNICODE
define, and simplify the code there.Then various other simplifications by cleaning up code that only supports special cases/downlevel OS.
Finally some cleanup by more searching for terms like
_T(
,TCHAR
, and_tcs
and replacing them with plainwchar_t
code.Limitations
Definitely no longer builds a binary that works on 25 year old Windows systems.
