Hi,
In order to write cross platform programs, shall I use ForceDirectories or
ForceDirectoriesUTF8? I would like to:
- Use native charset on the platform (i.e. UTF8 on Linux and whatever
codepage on Windows)
- Avoid using AnsiString or the like (as all my programs use string
type, c

consequence at all).
Are your programs compiled in either {$mode Delphi} or {$mode
ObjFPC}{$H+}? If so th
My program is always in {$mode objfpc} So string is not a problem, but
shall I use the UTF8 version or not? I remember that Windows is NOT UTF8?

s likely
UTF-8 is at least in the subset. I suggest using UTF8 all the time.
1: You don't have to worry about it if in the future you need to support
UTF-8 characters
2: It does not hurt your current program

I would think that that depends on where you get the value for
ForceDirectories(UTF8) from.

I have had the same problem with all the different string encodings arround:
Windows API-function can have ANSI or UTF16 encoding.
FPC-RTL file functions are restricted to 255 characters (so only ANSI file
names are possible).
Linux seems to have UTF8.
The LCL is UTF8 and the IDE can have differ
10 matches
