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?
Shortstring. {$h+} is not longstring, but ansistring.
After some more testing I realized it is the {$H+} that gave me the
performance boost. What does FPC default to? Why not default to {$H+}
?
Backwards compatibility. There are also many situations where
ansistrings are slower than shortstrings.
