Ok, two questions for the example above:
- how do you maintain backward compatibility?
- how do you load a plain old ansi file?
If the file is UTF-8 or ANSI, the above should work. UTF-8 was
designed to be backward compatible with ANSI. One of the beauties of
UTF-8.
But yes, with other encodings it's a problem. And exactly the reason I
think TStrings and the whole FPC for that matter should start
supporting Unicode somehow.
FPC supports Unicode, in 2.3.x is the UnicodeString type available being
a ref. counted utf-16 string on all platforms.
And that's why I urge all core FPC
developers to try and finalize a Unicode design. Otherwise you leave
it up to developers to keep adding such shitty hacks
They add it only because they insist on using utf-8 :)
which could cause
more issues in the long term - instead of solving issues.
