Hello.
Recent changes in FPC `main` led to the following errors when building some
code in Lazarus tree:
Error: (3069) Call by var for arg no. xx has to match exactly: Got
"ShortString" expected "AnsiString"
See:
https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/lazarus/lazarus/-/issues/40381
Note that the unit which fails to build has {$H-} directive.
Is it a bug in compiler?
No. We're preparing for the unicode RTL.
Part of that was changing string -> shortstring and pchar -> ansichar.
In some rare places I changed string to ansistring in preparation of
unicodestring, in this case it was misplaced since it was a var argument.
I added an overloaded version, which should fix the compilation error.
Michael.
