Is this hidden gem announced or documented somewhere? Is there a -M<x>
compiler switch to set it as default language mode? FPC doesn't list it yet.
I don't know whether Michael documented it already, but it's not
announced, because there's no guarantee yet, that it will work as
advertised.
E.g. consider the following example:
{$mode delphiunicode}
type
TMyStringList = class(TStringList)
function Add(const aText: String): Integer; override;
end;
This will currently give a compile error, because TStringList is
compiled with "String = AnsiString" and thus the override is incorrect.
AFAIK there isn't any switch for that mode yet. You might want to create
a bug report...
