Hi, I have a slight issue with a patch made in FPC, and will be included in the 3.0 release.
https://github.com/graemeg/freepascal/commit/aef238f18a04bce621c452fbdcfac46613001e6c ============================================ [src (master)]$ git log aef238f18a04bce6 commit aef238f18a04bce621c452fbdcfac46613001e6c Author: Jonas Maebe <jonas.maebe@elis.******> Date: Thu Dec 11 19:11:11 2014 +0000 * fall back to UTF-8 for darwin in unixcp.GetSystemCodePage if no LC_*/LANG environment variables are set * if no LC_*/LANG environment variables are set, let cwstring fall back to unixcp.GetSystemCodePage o this is mainly to avoid problems on OS X, where under certain circumstances these variables are not set for GUI programs and as a result we set the system code page to ASCII git-svn-id: http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/trunk@29257 3ad0048d-3df7-0310-abae-a5850022a9f2 ============================================ See the last file changed.... rtl/unix/unixcp.pp It seems it excludes FreeBSD in that $IF statement. Darwin is after all a FreeBSD fork. This results to cwstrings under FreeBSD to default to ASCII. :-/ ----------[ rtl/unix/unixcp.pp ]--------------- function GetSystemCodepage: TSystemCodePage; var p: SizeInt; lang: ansistring; cp: TSystemCodePage; begin // Get one of non-empty environment variables in the next order: // LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, LANG. Default is UTF-8 or ASCII. {$if defined(linux) or defined(darwin)} Result:=CP_UTF8; {$else} Result:=CP_ASCII; {$endif linux} ----------------------------------------------- Any specific reason why FreeBSD is excluded from the $IF statement?
