> Currently, the Delphi compiler generates code that uses TBytes and
> System.String types. Both use dynamically allocated memory.
> Due to the way in which Delphi manages memory this implies, that such
> interfaces cannot be shared between modules unless ShareMem or some other
> shared memory manager is explicitly used in all affected modules, which is an
> undesirable option in certain cases for a number of reasons.
> Goal of this ticket is to enable the Delphi code generator to either directly
> use COM types (e.g. System.WideString instead of System.String) or implement
> any other safe means where necessary to deal with this issue (and especially
> without the use of ShareMem or the like).
