First of all they are foundamentally broken. As our convention is that std::string is always UTF-8, these functions assume that the multi-byte character version of TString (std::string) from windows is also in UTF-8, which is almost always wrong. We are not going to build multi-byte character build, and even if we do, this dirty work should be handled by frontend framework early.
We always use unicode internally. Any dirty work of conversion with other codec should be handled by frontend framework (Qt). Further more, ShiftJIS/CP1252 are not special (they are not code set used by 3ds, or any guest/host dependencies we have), so there is no reason to specifically include them
We can just use the variant of std::string's replace() function that can
replace an occurrence with N copies of the same character, eliminating
the need to allocate a std::string containing a buffer of spaces.
* Change the logging backend to support multiple sinks through the
Backend Interface
* Add a new set of logging macros to use fmtlib instead.
* Qt: Compile as GUI application on windows to make the console hidden by
default. Add filter configuration and a button to open log location.
* SDL: Migrate to the new logging macros
