I recently had a problem with an application that was converted from old string type to AnsiString and seemingly worked in the new Unicode environment. However, we received reports that it had failed in some Asian countries (Korea, China, Thailand) and upon checking it turned out that the data inside a string used as buffer was changed because of locale differences.... After switching out the affected variable declarations from AnsiString to RawByteString the application seemingly started to work again also on these locations. So AnsiString is not safe either.... And after this I have spent some time to totally rework the use of strings as buffers to instead use TBytes. Lots of work but guaranteed to not sneak in unexpected conversions. -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
