Well, that's the first I heard of it. Last time I checked, there was no clear decision as to what design/implementation to follow? So where is the finalized design spec / wiki page etc, so I can see where I can help? If you read Marco's PDF, there are a few ideas for Unicode implementation, and a few weeks ago, it seems nothing has changed. Everybody seems to have there own ideas. > If you need it today, widestrings are > your best option. At the moment I use UTF-8 and standard String type - as implemented in fpGUI. So I'm okay for now with our current projects, but there are still many outstanding issues and pitfalls (as my earlier example shows). > If you want to help, we need to implement the Delphi 2009 encoding aware > string type, both runtime support as well as the compiler support. Well considering that I don't have a copy of Delphi 2009 and don't want to fall into the same trap as before - where FPC had copyrighted code in the RTL, I would prefer to look at the design guidelines / spec as set out by the core FPC team. Where can I get hold of such a document or information?
