tango.sys.win32 lacks functions for handling null-terminated string

Description (Last modified by yidabu)

for conveniently calling Windows Api, tango.sys.win32 should have these functions for calling A versiong api:

char* toMbsz(char[] s, uint page = 0)
char* toMbsz(wchar[] ws, uint page = 0)
char* toMbsz(dchar[] s, uint page = 0)

and these functions for calling W version api:

wchar* toUtf16z(char[] s)
wchar* toUtf16z(dchar[] s)

here is a patch.

I seen somebody use tango.stdc.stringz.toUtf8z for calling windows api, that's not right way.

Tango is a cross-platform library, and cannot therefore embed Win32 specifics inside a generic C oriented module :)

Perhaps tango.sys.win32.CodePage? might be of use?

That's a good idea.

CodePage? now adds a trailing null, so you can use .ptr of the return to pass to a C API. The original tango.stdc.stringz() can be used in combination as appropriate
