So based on that statement, I gather Delphi project compatibly stops there. Unless I guess FPC implements yet another new compiler mode or something, but even so, it will be a sh*t load of work for the FPC developers to fix all internal code that will get broken (code that relies on a Char=1byte), just to try and maintain compatibility. Even for developers using multpile versions of Delphi, I can't see how they can maintain backward compatibility with such a change. All projects supporting multiple compilers will have issues. Or am I not understanding the effect such a change will have?
