Looking at https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=35359
and the latest comments (see end of mail)
Is it correct, that "widestring" here has 2 meanings?
- the "widestring" that has length in bytes (windows bstr)
- "widestring" as a typename / alias
And apparently then on *nix, "widestring" is just an alias (to
unicodestring).
So using the type with the name of "widestring" on *nix will compile
to a type that has length in chars?
At least my test app, seems to imply this.
Correct. On non-Windows platforms WideString is always an alias to
UnicodeString. The distinctive WideString type only exists on Windows
platforms as it relies on Windows specific functionality.
