Something to look out for.this is what I meant about truncation. S is no longer null terminated and now the pchar will fail when passed to C libraries right? var s: String; p: Pchar; begin s := 'hello'; p := @s;
S will still be null-terminated for ansistrings and shortstrings. change to s:=s+s; p:=@s[1]; // and not @s writeln(p[Length(s)+1]=#0); and it will print TRUE.
