Hi,
In the tiOPF project the v3 branch is a Delphi Unicode String enabled
version of tiOPF, thus it only supports Delphi 2009/2010 and newer. A
while back I had some discussion with Michael van Canneyt, and he
believes FPC is sufficiently compatible to Delphi 2010 and later, so the
tiOPF3 port should be possible.
So today I started taking a look to see what would be involved in
getting tiOPF3 compatible with FPC. Off the bat, I have a lot of
compiler errors with latest FPC 2.7.1 but I'll push ahead and see how
far I get.
I haven't been following the latest 2.7.1 development in detail, so I
have a couple of questions... all relating to FPC 2.7.1 (trunk) only:
0) Am I jumping the gun here, and FPC is not nearly compatible enough to
port a Delphi 2010, XE, XE2 project to FPC 2.7.1?
1) Is it correct that String <> AnsiString any more?
2) If true, what is String an alias of? UnicodeString, WideString,
something else?
3) If false, what must I enable/toggle to say that String must now be a
Delphi unicode-type string.
4) What Unicode encoding is used? UTF-8 or UTF-16?
5) Is it only the compiler that has unicode string type support. Has
anything been done or started in the RTL?
Regards,
