I have already answered twice. You can use either one, nothing more to say. If you want to get away from Windows/MSVC dependency, you should not be using the ones in the documentation you are consulting.

@Bracha
_tmkdir() sounds like some kind of mkdir(), maybe with a wide-character parameter.

There is a C runtime function mkdir() which is not Windows-specific. Or in Qt you have bool QDir::mkdir(const QString &dirName) const for this.

@jsulm u mean mkpath?
from what i understand tmkdir are not normal mkdir and i try to figure out what the different

Hi,

From what I gathered, tmkdir is a wrapper around the CreateDirectory which requires the parent folders to exist. mkpath creates all the intermediate folders if they don't exists.

@JonB yes you are right, how can i adjust to tmkdir, i dont want to lose information
i have this line:
_tmkdir(L"\Nand Flash\failure");
and i'm not sure why they choose to use tmkdir

[Bracha]

@SGaist thank you
so from your side u think that tmkdir can replaced by mkpath?

[JonB]

@Bracha
Why would you want to replace existing _tmkdir, which is working/intended, with a mkpath, which behaves differently?

I suggested to you earlier:

There is a C runtime function mkdir() which is not Windows-specific. Or in Qt you have bool QDir::mkdir(const QString &dirName) const for this.

Why not use one of these?

@JonB
Actually they are not considered, _tmkdir and mkdir.
But I think in such a case its unnecessary, because the string will be a path and I guess there is no need for wide characters from Tchar.h
(as you can see here:).

What are you think?
