I've just tracked down a minor irritation with KITL_RETAILMSG and KITL_DEBUGMSG under CE 6.0 R3 - they can't print UNICODE or wide strings.
On several platforms I've seen the KITL device name is not printed correctly. The device name is the name member of the OAL_KITL_DEVICE structure and is defined as a LPCWSTR.
Typically OALKitlInit uses KITL_RETAILMSG to report the device name but the name is never displayed correctly. The string is formatted as "%s" but only the first letter is shown - this implies that the wide string is being formatted as a character string. Trying %hs or %S to override the default does not help.
Reviewing the private sources confirms the problem. Only the %s format is supported and this is for character strings only.
Also be aware that formatting such as %08x is not supported either, but %X is fine!
