Not yet. These are the exceptions I was talking about.
That also means FPC 3.0.x is then seriously flawed. It
supports Unicode, but it also doesn't support Unicode.
So what is the suggested work-around for FPC 3.0.2 to load
various text encoding files into a TStringList? Hopefully
the answer is not: "there is none" :-/
Use the plain pascal routines to read lines from a file,
fill stringlist. You can write a class helper for it.
Because that will seriously impair/break INI usage too. The
first example off the top of my head. XML and JSON probably
too.
No. Those have been using widestring/UTF8string since day 1.
The main problem to switch the classes unit is backwards compatibility.
Michael.
