Fixes internal VSO-2845667 and VSO-2845668.
CodeQL is emitting SM02986: cpp/incorrect-string-type-conversion, saying "Conversion from
char *to__wchar_t *. Use of invalid string can lead to undefined behavior." for<xlocinfo>and "Conversion fromconst char *toconst __wchar_t *. Use of invalid string can lead to undefined behavior." forlocale0.cpp.These warnings are desirable, we're just doing something that's intentionally sketchy-looking but correct. Accordingly, I'm adding suppression comments, citing #5781 where these changes were introduced.
CodeQL appears to warn only when
reinterpret_casting fromchar*towchar_t*, not the reverse (possibly because casts tochar*are very common). Just in case, I am additionally adding the suppression to thereinterpret_cast<char*>where we actually store the wide string.
