------- Additional comments from [email protected] Fri May 21 11:54:00 +0000 2010 ------- >From my POV this was never a "nobody needs that". Please don't mix the step from 8 bit characters to 16 bit characters with 16 bit string length vs. 32 bit string length. These are completely different topics and the necessity to do the first conversion is not related to the other one. Of course the String class uses a special type for length and indices. But there is other code that was written in the last 15 years that works with strings and in many places this explicit type is not used. I already thought about a possible way to reduce the effort over time. It's interesting that I had the same idea as you: if everyone who comes across code dealing with Strings has a short look and replaces all usage of unsigned 16 bit variables by the special type "xub_StrLen", we could reduce the effort over time. Sounds like something I could try to advertize amongst the developers. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
