Windows Generic C/C++ Collation Functions
Internationalization (I18n) Issue:
These functions are the Generic versions of the single-byte,
wide, and multibyte
character string collation functions.
To operate correctly, generic arguments and return values should be used.
I18n Solution:
Use the appropriate equivalent Windows Generic collation function
when reengineering an application for internationalization.
I18n Discussion:
When a Generic function call is used, the _MBCS or _UNICODE
compiler switch determines whether to map to the multibyte or wide version of the function.
For example, _tcscmp will map to _mbscmp if the
_MBCS compiler switch is defined, and to wcscmp if the
_UNICODE switch is defined.
The arguments and return values for these functions are also Generic and dependent on the
_MBCS/_UNICODE switch for their mapping to either narrow or wide-character data.
See the MSDN Library's Using Generic Text Mappings for more information.
