As long as the ANSIString and UTF8String and String types are the same to
the compiler this questions does not make too much sense.
Well those all refer to ANSI string types.
What do you mean by this ? These refer to "Byte String Types"
I was referring to
WideString and UnicodeString types - as is available in FPC 2.3.1
UTF8 _is_ a Unicode coding and thus UTF8String _should_be_ a Unicode
String type (of course it is not in the current implementation, as the
compiler can't tell it from ANSIString, but that is exactly what we are
discussing right now.) If UTF8String is not a Unicode type there is no
right for it to exist.
