Hi,
concerning the string topic, for me (using fpc since 2.0.4 on a regular basis;
TP experience ~ average user) there really should be an decision what way to
go as early as possible.
I'm not ranting and I know, that I'm not in the position to demand anything...
[I would really like to help,

Users can define the internal type with e.g. {$STRING UTF8} for their
*whole* project.
Should that (*whole* project) include also the 3rd party units (with
available sourcecode)?

Yes, that's the idea...

Hi,
thx, got it...
There will always be conversion if
1) a unit specifies a string type by itself.
2) the unit comes in compiled form.
One more question:
If a particular unit (maybe 3rd party) does not define its string type, what
string type is used:
(a) the type defined in project,

This is different from Delphi, where you don't have this choice:
