[fpc-devel] Tiburon compatibility

2008-07-16 Thread Leonardo M . Ramé
Apparently the new Delphi version (Tiburon) will change the way strings are 
handled by the rtl and the compiler, this changes affects Unicode characters 
specially. Surely the code created with the new Delphi version shouldn't 
compile with FPC. 

Is somebody addressing the changes to make them compatible with future versions 
of FPC, or this will be the finish of compatibility between the two compilers?

Why shouldn't ?

Ehm... afaik, tiburon is not released yet, so how should we know what 
the incompatibilities are ?
