Note that many places that are runtime typed (like tstringlist.loadfromfile) get a encoding parameter, so that the loading code can convert the encoding of the file (in encoding parameter) to whatever stringtype tstringlist uses (typically utf8 or utf16 or "default")
Do you refer to the Delphi or FPC implementation? I couldn't find yet an encoding in FPC TStrings or TStringList.
In short, see it as if text now has a mandatory encoding attached. If the runtime doesn't know the type, then it is not text, but binary, and you should treat it as such.
Can you give an example, how the runtime can not know the type of an string? DoDi _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
