Pharo Issue Tracker - Manuscript (Case [Issue]22658) Command Line - Better manage encoding of environment variables

Manuscript Notification

	Guillermo Polito opened Case 22658: Better manage encoding of environment variables and assigned it to Everyone: Bug in Command Line: 1. Pharo Image • You are subscribed to this case

We should somehow backport some of the enhancements done in the Pharo launcher regarding encoding of environment variables. We have already studied possible alternatives with Pablo and Christophe and arrived to the conclusion:
- a common denominator for all platforms will provide an already decoded string, because windows does not (compared to *nix systems) provide a encoded byte representation of the value. Windows has instead its own wide string representation.
- a binary representation can be provided optionally (and in windows derived from the already decoded string)
- Windows requires calling the right *Wide version of the functions from C, plus the correct encoding routine. This could be implemented as an FFI call or by modifying the VM to do it properly instead of calling the Ascii version.

	Priority: 4 – Would be nice		Status: Work Needed
	Assigned to: Everyone		Milestone: Later
