Hi, thx, got it... > There will always be conversion if > 1) a unit specifies a string type by itself. > 2) the unit comes in compiled form.
One more question: If a particular unit (maybe 3rd party) does not define its string type, what string type is used: (a) the type defined in project, (b) a fpc default type? In other words, can I force *all* sources in my project to use the same string type, provided that I know, they don't do direct access? The wiki says [http://wiki.freepascal.org/FPC_Unicode_support], that - shortstring - ansistring - widestring - utf8string - utf16string - utf32string - ucs2string (?) - ucs4string (?) may be supported. So in future I will be able to define any of these for my source (and switch between them), without changing code? Thus: Any function with "string" as param will be "automatically" overloaded for all supported string types? d.l.i.w _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
