Indeed.  Actually, there's no need to allocate memory dynamically,

fixed size limitation that is known in advance.  So each conversion
function can use a fixed-sized local wchar_t array.  Doing that will
also avoid the need for 2 calls to MultiByteToWideChar, the first one
to find out how much space to allocate.
Nope. These functions would receive full path names, so there's no maximum length.* Although it is appropiate to attempt a local buffer first, and only if it turns out to be insufficient, change into alloca()


* _Some_ Windows when using _some_ filesystems / apis have fixed limits, but there are ways to produce larger paths...
