Hello. Yesterday there was a commit:
http://svn.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi?view=rev&root=lazarus&revision=32374 "don't use UTF8String type in the code. It will cause problems when cpstrenew branch is merged" What problems could it cause, is it because Lazarus currently uses AnsiString as UTF8? I thought Lazarus is going to continue using UTF8 and then it shouldn't be a problem using UTF8String in it or in its applications. I would rather think that all instances of AnsiString would need to be removed because the compiler would do Ansi<->UTF8 conversions where it previously didn't. We are using UTF8String in our application just for the sake of denoting that it is UTF8 encoding not Ansi. If I would like to start testing FPC trunk with the merged cpstrnew branch, should I replace all UTF8String with String? -- cobines -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
