Where is UNICODE defined ?


Isn't the define "UNICODE" a heritage from Delphi (> version xyz) ?

Yes, and if you chose the explicit compatibility mode for that version,
$mode delphiunicode, it _is_ defined.

Now why on earth would we do that ? We don't define VERXYZ either in mode delphi ??
The motivation was exactly the point that Delphi versions where String=UnicodeString define "Unicode" while former versions do not, so the definition of the UNICODE switch was linked to modeswitch unicodestrings (and thus to mode delphiunicode). This was also the reason why WinCE compilation got broken (it defines UNICODE by default which got undefined after mode ObjFPC was encountered) and I added the FPC_OS_UNICODE define.
