windows open serial device fail

[ismiberto]

In windows, open serial device fail. The function CreateFile accept LPCWSTR type, in code pass device name (self->interfaceName) is a char* data type. serial_port_win32.c

self->comPort = CreateFile(self->interfaceName, GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE,
0, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, 0, NULL);

if (self->comPort == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) {
	self->lastError = SERIAL_PORT_ERROR_OPEN_FAILED;
	return false;
}

I think this problem happens when the code is compilied with UNICODE defined. See also here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51462048/what-is-the-difference-between-createfile-and-createfilea

When you are using a string constant you can try to provide them like _T("COM8")
