<p>It's to handle filenames uniformly I expect, for example on Windows to take a UTF-8 string for filename and mode and convert them to wide-char/UTF-8 like Windows uses normally. The <a href="https://git.gnome.org/browse/glib/tree/glib/gstdio.c#n713">definition is here</a></p>

<p>I don't there's an issue as the same C lib will be used in all supported configurations (mscvrt or glibc). It might be a problem if Geany <code>g_fopen</code>-ed a <code>FILE</code> and passed it to Scintilla, which uses a different C runtime (part of libstdc++ IIUC).</p>
