How is ThousandSeparator and DecimalSeparator supposed to work it
TFormatSettings? If you switched the RTL to UTF-8 or UTF-16 a Russian
thousand separator (4-byte non-breaking white space character) for
example will not fit into a Char type.
The Char type is quite useless with Unicode,
Correction: *This* Char type needs to be extended.
Please specify.
"Char" in general is very useful.
at least if it has less
than 3 bytes (4 for UTF-8). There exist many more flaws in the RTL/LCL,
assuming that a character always fits into a Char (like the Pos
overload...).
There is a Pos overload for strings. Where is the flaw in Pos?
The flaw is the added overload with a Char parameter.
Furthermore the Pos arguments should never be subject to automatic
conversion, otherwise the returned index will be useless.
In the best case Char could be retyped into an string (substring),
That would be wrong in 99.9% of the cases.
Please give at least one example.
