   I would rather avoid such constructs precisely because of the
compiler support problems. We have to support _T because of legacy
windows code, but if we write the code then it should be very easy to
avoid its use entirely:


_TCHAR buf[100];
.... and at the start of the functions using buf:
{

   unicode(buf,sizeof(buf),"foo");
...

or as a macro:
   STR2UNICODE(buf,"foo");

   with a secondary use as:

   wstr=unicode(NULL,0,"foo"); // allocate and return a unicode string

   I like the teststr() idea too. It's a bit complex but it sounds like
it could help write better tests.
