You are casting a pointer as a string... The way to convert PChar to a

Only if you use shortstrings. When using ansistrings you can cast a
PChar in to a string like: String(SomePchar)
With ansistrings you seldom (or never) need StrPas
What about the length that is stored just before the memory location
of ansistrings? Does PChar created with StrAlloc have this field?
It is not really a cast. The compiler adds conversion code.
I'm interested in this since currently i use StrPas to convert from
PChar to AnsiString.
Is this (String(PChar)) faster than StrPas?
Is safe that will not change to a simple pointer cast in future?
Does it copy the string content?
