My understanding (which, if it is wrong, sorry but not my fault since the
docs are a bit vague and all the names involved are totally unintuitive
:-P) is that RawByteString has basically no codebase so it is treated as a
byte string pretty much the same way AnsiString was treated pre-FPC3. So
i'd expect the codebase to always be CP_NONE and to change it, i'd have to
assign the RawByteString to some string type with an associated codepage
(basically, making the RBS an "escape hatch" to the whole conversion
machinery).

At compile time it is CP_NONE, at runtime it can be any codepage.

This is IMO misleading since nowadays AnsiString has codepage information
and a plain AnsiString as shown in the page you linked can be any codepage
whereas RawByteString is always CP_NONE. RawByteString and AnsiString are
not equivalent.

Did you run Lazarus as the same user as it was installed?
Is the user an admin user?
How did you open the IDE?

Can you send me the text of IDE menu

There is a similar problem with the fpc rpms. 
GNU binutils 2.26 added a new relocation type. I need to rebuild the debs on an

Ouch, that's not delphi compatible then (unless the example is flawed).

sometimes you have to rely on delphi examples/documentation).


The following is clearly nonsense:

  FThread.FreeOnTerminate := False;  // Free FThread in the OnTerminate

Terminated is already True in OnTerminate.

So I think the example is flawed.

 From the TThread implementation:

  if (FThreadID = GetCurrentThreadID) then
     begin
   if not(FFreeOnTerminate) and not FFinished then
     raise EThreadDestroyCalled.Create('A thread cannot destroy 
itself except by setting FreeOnTerminate and leaving!');


I think we cannot be more clear than that :)


Not really: OnTerminate is called in the context of the main thread, so 
FThreadId is different than GetCurrentThreadId.

Damn, it is added by me.
It is used only for function TCharacter.IsSurrogate(). Do you know a
replacement function without copying the whole unit from FPC 3.0?
LazUTF16 only has:
 function IsUTF16CharValid(AChar, ANextChar: WideChar): Boolean;
A fix could be committed to the 1.8 fixes branch as a special case
If no easy fix is found then I could add:
  if {$IF 
FPC_FULLVERSION<3}False{$ELSE}TCharacter.IsSurrogate(WideChar(OrgCharCode)){$ENDIF}
then
and the code works with FPC 2.6.4 as it did before my changes.

The call to TCharacter.IsSurrogate() fixes this issue only partly :

UTF8KeyPress is still not called. Somebody with better knowledge of
LCL-Win32 should fix it.

The automatic conversions by FPC 3 could indeed mess things up.
However you should change such binary buffers to use TBytes or similar
in any case. There have always been warnings against using String type
for binary data. In future your code may use $mode DelphiUnicode and
it breaks for sure.
Maybe switching to FPC 3 is the right moment to fix the buffers, too.

Yes, my dirty hack was to copy character.pas from fpc-3.0.0 (and all 
other needed units[*]) to interfaces\win32.
I also add to edit character.pas to add the missing resource strings and 
the definition of ENoConstructException

I know I'll have to upgrade to fpc 3 someday, but what worries me about 
it is my (and other 3rd party units) use of ansistrings as binary 
buffers. I did some quick tests some time ago an nothing seemed broken, 
but I'm somewhat reluctant since my software has to run unattended 24/7 
(or more like 24/5).
OTOH I can always keep a copy of fpc-2.6.4 and lazarus 1.6.4 recompile 
if something goes wrong.

I see that, while under linux there's no problem, under windows it 
cannot be built with fpc-2.6.4.
Now I managed to build it by transplanting the missing unicode units 
from fpc-3.0, but I'm not sure it will work correctly.
I guess I'll have to switch to fpc 3.0.4 but I still fear the unicode 
changes in 3.0 will bite me.

Oops. My fault. I will upload the right versions.
