I've been looking at some old code which still seems to work in fpc
3.0.0 - but is it safe? The code looks like:
{$mode delphi}
var Buf: PChar;
s: string;
begin
Buf := LoadString; {returns a pointer to an arbitrarily long null
terminated string}
s := string(Buf); {seems to work - but should it?}
end;
The above has been around since Delphi days and has never caused
trouble, but I am certainly wondering if this coercion is safe anymore
given the introduction of AnsiString code pages.
Any ideas?
