Yes. > It could be done by compiler magic and an encoding field in the typeinfo > too? No, since then the runtime routines must be overloaded again, for each compiler magic'ed type (all codepages +UTF-8, and another two). A runtime routine must be able to detect what kind of string type it receives, or you need a runtime routine per type. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
