Sorry guys, hope this mail is better and this is content of my original 
post:



 
Hello, 

While studying win32-unicode-test branch, I wonder why there is no 
platform independent interface? Code such as 

#ifdef _WIN32 
    if (_wchdir((WCHAR *)RSTRING_PTR(path)) < 0) 
#else 
    if (chdir(RSTRING_PTR(path)) < 0) 
#endif 

should actually look as 

if (pi_chdir(RSTRING_PTR(path)) < 0) 

where "pi" stands for "platform independent" and later on, there should be 
in platform specific files macro redefining this call to platform specific 
call, e.g. 

in win32.h, there would be #define pi_chdir(p)               
 rb_w32_chdir((WCHAR *)p) 
in macosx, there would be #define pi_chdir(p)               
 rb_apple_chdir(p) 
in posix, there would be #define pi_chdir(p)                chdir(p) 

The code is now so much cluttered by platform specific that it is almost 
unreadable and hard to maintain.

At least, unak doesn't read HTML mails.
