Hello. As I see in the commit
https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc/source/-/commit/beecbf1581a986f544fde77aa428e05c21a35f6f
StrToInt always uses ShortString buffer:
*Function fpc_Val_SInt_ShortStr(DestSize: SizeInt; Const S: ShortString; out
Code: ValSInt): ValSInt;*
If it is correct: Can we skip using ShortString buffer and have e.g. 'common'
PChar base function for AnsiString/ShortString?
It's not that easy.
From the definition you can see it is a compilerproc function, meaning that the
compiler writes direct calls to this.
To change the signature of the function means the compiler itself also must be changed.
