I hope so, and with Delphi plans on making strings immutable in the future, I hope FPC doesn't follow. Otherwise, simple string concatenation loop will need to be changed to use string buffers, which makes it more error prone, more typing and more resource eating. -- View this message in context: http://free-pascal-general.1045716.n5.nabble.com/FPC-Mobile-development-the-String-type-tp5719728p5719737.html Sent from the Free Pascal - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
