No, it will be RTLString which type depends on the OS.
Ok, so code would be something like this:
var
OSString: RTLString;
MyString: UTF8String;
begin
OSString := SomeRTLRoutine;
MyString := OSString;
?
Why would you do this and not
MyString := SomeRTLRoutine;
?
If I understand that right, this may cause some overhead, that in
some(few) cases is not needed.
If I write an application using stringtype "X" (WideString for
example), then in the above "MyString" would be WideString.
The in/ouput for SomeRTLRoutine are RtlString, they are OS depended. If
I compile for a OS using "UTF8" then that means for each and every call,
it needs a string conversation.
Of course I understand, *if* some RTLFunction calls the OS, then the
string must be converted. But if I simply want to extract the drive
letter, or trim the path, and get the file name, without actually
accessing the file or OS? Should it be possible to skip converting?
