Hi, The new (W-API based) TRegistry in trunk and 3.2 fixes has some problems on Windows, amongst which at least one regression.
https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=35060 The use of Utf8Decode on strings that are not guaranteed to be CP_UTF8 is wrong. As a result Keys with unicode characters in their name cannot be read anymore (nor written to). (This is a regression) https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=34876 The implementation of ReadStringList/WriteStringList treats a sequence of Unicode chars (WideChar) as if they were AnsiChar (a.o.). https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=35022 TRegIniFile writes data to the wrong Key. All these issues have patches and sample programs attached. The patch for https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=35022 also resolves https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=35023 and https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=33980 Attached to https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=35022 is also a test, intended to be added to tests/test/packages/fcl-registry. (Currently the only test there is a trivial one.) I can try to write tests for the other issues as well, but verifying in code that WriteStringList yields the correct result may be a little tricky, because it would depend on ReadStringList. The patch for that issue will write a StringList and read that back again and regedit does not complain that data is wrong. It would be very nice if some devel who actually uses Windows (and has at least rudimentary knowledge of the use of TRegistry) can have a look at it and give some feedback. Especially since these bugs will be in the upcoming 3.2.0 if they are not fixed (and merged). -- Bart _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
