Hello.

Recent changes in FPC `main` led to the following errors when building some code in Lazarus tree:

Error: (3069) Call by var for arg no. xx has to match exactly: Got "ShortString" expected "AnsiString"

See:

https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/lazarus/lazarus/-/issues/40381

Note that the unit which fails to build has {$H-} directive.

Is it a bug in compiler?

No. We're preparing for the unicode RTL.

Part of that was changing string -> shortstring and pchar -> ansichar.

In some rare places I changed string to ansistring in preparation of
unicodestring, in this case it was misplaced since it was a var argument. I added an overloaded version, which should fix the compilation error.

But I thought that it was possible to assign ShortString to AnsiString. Am I mistaken?
Ah, I see now that it is Var argument, so they should match exactly.

Thanks for helping.
