<div class='indent'>
#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
#include <stdexcept>
#include <stdlib.h>
using namespace std;

const int STRLEN = 512;

int main() {
if (!setlocale(LC_CTYPE, ""))
throw runtime_error("Can't set the specified locale!");
// L"direcotory with a gap/file"
const wchar_t *fileName = L"unicode dir path with gaps/unicode file";
char cFileName[STRLEN];
if (wcstombs(cFileName, fileName, STRLEN) == size_t(-1))
throw runtime_error("wcstombs failed");
ifstream in(cFileName);
string s;
while (getline(in, s)) {
cout << s << endl;
}

return 0;
}
</div>
So it's simply a call to wcstombs after setlocale.
