True, although the wording might be misleading.
FPC 3.0+ does not arbitrarily change encoding of strings.
That's why the LCL can use UTF-8 in AnsiStrings even without the new
UTF-8 mode.
It then works pretty similar to FPC 2.6.4.
This is exactly what I seemed to remember from multiple discussions in
multiple forums, and this is why I recommended my friend to take a look
at Lazarus/FPC.
the LCL *can* use UTF-8
How to set it to do so ? (I may be able guess, but as I said I am asking
for a pal who is rather new to Lazarus/FPC, so explicit pointers are
appreciated. ...)
even without the new UTF-8 mode.
How to set this mode when compiling with Lazarus ?
What mode do you think is more appropriate when most work is done on
strings that just have no or an unknown encoding ?
Thanks a lot !
