I don't believe that PChar will be touched, because to much code that
interfaces with C code depends on that. Although its declaration might
not be the same then and become "PChar = PAnsiChar" instead of "PChar =
^Char" if Char is changed (currently its "PAnsiChar = PChar").
Current Delphi _does_ regard char as equivalent lowlevel type to string. So
whatever you choose as string (8 or 16-bit), pchar will match it by changing
to pansichar or pwidechar
Oh come on -.-
There are some days on which I really dislike the developers of Delphi...
