You should use unicodestring or widestring variables, and send that to COM. Although it worked well in many cases, a data loss may occur. So to reformulate this question, how to avoid this useless conversion step? I thought that setting the default code page to UTF-8 just do the trick. COM only works with UTF16. The best way is to declare all strings that you intend to send to COM to Widestring or UnicodeString.

Do you want to convert an UTF8 string to the system codepage? Are you using any Lazarus units?

[fpc-pascal] Request for feedback (Issue #28725)
Hi, I know times are busy with the upcoming 3.0.0. Nevertheless I would like to get some feedback for a proposed patch (overloaded StrUtils.PosEx for use with Uniicode strings) in the bugtracker: http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=28725 Posting patches and not getting any feedback at all is frustrating. Am I waisting my time? Am I wasting fpc-devels time? Even a "this proposal is wrong at so many levels" is better than no reply at all. Or a simple "Please wait until someone has time to look into it". @all: please do not feel offended.

Re: [fpc-pascal] Feature announcement: Generic functions, procedures and methods
Here is another test, a bit more complex. It fails when trying to pass a
procedure reference to the Execute. This is a bit different than
trying to get a reference to a generic routine. Routines like ControlMove
and ShapeColor and not generic.
{$mode delphi}
type
TForEach = procedure(Item: T; Arg: A);
// inside TMainForm declaration
procedure Execute(ForEach: TForEach; Arg: A);
// implementation
procedure TMainForm.Execute(ForEach: TForEach; Arg: A);
var
I: Integer;
begin
for I := 0 to ComponentCount - 1 do
if Components[I] is T then
ForEach(Components[I] as T, Arg);
end;
procedure ControlMove(Item: TControl; Arg: Integer);
begin
Item.Left := Arg;
end;
procedure ShapeColor(Item: TShape; Arg: TColor);
begin
Item.Brush.Color := Arg;
end;
procedure TMainForm.ExecuteButtonClick(Sender: TObject);
begin
// below fails after "Integer>" with Compilation raised exception
internally
Execute(ControlMove, Mouse.CursorPos.X);
if ColorDialog.Execute then
Execute(ShapeColor, ColorDialog.Color);

Re: [fpc-pascal] Updated FPC from svn but make does not work..

That's unfortunate but I don't have sufficient VPN experience to be able to offer a fix (and this isn't the right place to try to thrash it out).
