The following code:
{$MODE DELPHI}
program CharOverload;
uses
SysUtils;
procedure Foo(const aArg: UnicodeString); overload;
begin
WriteLn('WideString: ', aArg);
end;
procedure Foo(c: WideChar); overload;
begin
WriteLn('Char: ', c);
end;
begin
Foo('abc');
end.
Fails with current trunk fpc with the following messages
[odysseus:fpc-trunk$] compiler/ppc386 ~/Desktop/test/CharOverload.pp
Free Pascal Compiler version 3.1.1 [2018/06/18] for i386

to call
CharOverload.pp(19,12) Error: Illegal type conversion: "Constant String"
to "WideChar"
CharOverload.pp(20,4) Fatal: There were 2 errors compiling module, stopping

It fails with same messages with {$MODE OBJFPC}. Is this known. I can
enter a Mantis if desired.
Thanks
