Hi, If I have a .pas unit and forgot to specify the compiler mode line {$mode objfpc}{$H+} what does FPC default to? Compiler Mode? Longstring or Shortstring?
I wrote a string tokenizer and did some time trials against an old tokenizer I used. First I forgot to include the compiler mode line above and did some test runs. I then noticed my mistake and added in that line and did some more test runs. The second set of tests where on avg 10% faster! After some more testing I realized it is the {$H+} that gave me the performance boost. What does FPC default to? Why not default to {$H+} ?
