I was thinking about the below code that returns "1" in Windows and "0" in
Linux. Specially the windows answer is interesting. The Linux result can
probably be explained by non implementation of the windows specific OEM
codepage concept.
{$mode delphiunicode}
const cp_oemcp=1;
type oemstring = type ansistring(cp_OEMCP);
function xx:ansistring;
var nn:rawbytestring;
begin
setlength(nn,1);
nn[1]:=#121;
setcodepage(nn,cp_oemcp);
result:=nn;
end;
var v : ansistring;
begin
v:=xx;
writeln(stringcodepage(v));
end.
