On Ubuntu 22.04 64bit WideStringBuffer is not applicable for hid_error #149

Open

Description

@laborg

While investigating #148 I found out that the following code doesn't work for hid_error() (spacing should be four bytes instead of two):

for (int i = 0; i < buffer.length && buffer[i] != 0; i += 2)

System:

... (master*) » lsb_release -a

In linux/hidapi.c the returned string is created with L"Success" which apparently uses a different encoding as all the other string IO calls (e.g. get_serial_number(...)) .
