Here is 2 examples of how the fpc compiler dos when comparing a string constant with a pchar . The first is compiled with the 204 compiler and second one is compiled with the 202 compiler. I am using the compiler on an embedded Arm 7 platform and Ansi strings is not an option. I want to force the 204 compiler to use short strings but the only option I can se, that have anything to do with strings is the (-Sh use ansistrings) and that is just the opposite of what I want. Any hints?
