[fpc-devel] Warning: Unicode constant cast with potential data loss
FPC 3.2.0 var u,u2 : UTF8String; begin u := #$2267'x'; u2 := #$2267; // warning Assigning a WideString to a Utf8String works without warning. Assigning a WideChar (2nd line) to a Utf8String causes "Warning: Unicode constant cast with potential data loss" Apparently it is first converted to a char in the System codepage, and then to string. Is that intended? Actually if u: AnsiString then the result is '??' (so data is lost), yet no warning. ___ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org https://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel

It's a known short coming of the [] property and if the solution is as easy as allowing a var param variant then maybe it's feasible.
