This is a limitation of OpenCascade because it doesn't offer a way to use C++ streams or wide char. |

A posibly way is use the old DOS name mangling in Windows. It can, as far as I recall, transform all kind of (long or odd) file name into a form DOS (or Windows) can understand... On UNIX it would be possible to create a temporary hard (or soft) link to the file in a place where the path is ok and try load from that.... |

Its a problem, but not clear if solvable by us... |

For UNIX nothing needs to be done because there filenames are UTF-8 encoded and because this can be handled by a char string everything is fine. On Windows filenames are UCS-2 encoded and thus must be handled with a wchar_t string. On Mac OS X filenames are UCS-4 encoded whereby I don't have any experience how to handle this internally. What we need is a way for the IGES/STEP reader/writer to use either a FILE pointer or an std::o/istream. Maybe the new version for OCC 6.4 which should be released in the near future offers this way. |
