When UTF-8 encoded string is stored in AnsiString (as in LCL), this
test should tell you if it actually is UTF-8 string:
if Length(s) <> UT
Hello
We found an old link from 2005 about a FastMM port :
http://free-pascal-general.1045716.n5.nabble.com/First-Test-of-FastMM4-for-fpc-td2809801.html
Is it still alive? Is there a version that works with recent FPCs?
Support for Win32 would be enough obviously.
We are comparing different memo

The syntax is perfectly valid and compiles fine here with FPC 2.6.2.

Documentation here:
http://lazarus-ccr.sourceforge.net/docs/rtl/sysutils/comparemem.html
says that the function returns <0, 0 or >0
while actually it returns a Boolean.

The speed depends on page contents, too, but anyway that sounds very fast.

I must implement communication between 2 processes.
I believe SimpleIPC is good for that purpose and it is well tested in
a cross-platform system (Lazarus <-> ChmHelp).
Named pipes were suggested to me. I would like to know the benefits /
handicaps of SimpleIPC compared to named pipes. I will have

Ok, sorry Marco and Jonas.
This unit did not have Mode Delphi. I thought the setting in a Lazarus
project was enough but no. This un

Ok, {$PACKSET 1} helps.
I expected it to be part of {$Mode Delphi}. Most things are Delphi
compatible with it.
Thanks.

If I have have a set with < 9 elements, like :
type
TMyEnum = (
xOne,
xTwo,
xThree,
xFour,
xFive
);
// Count <= 8, fits in one Byte
TMyEnums = set of TMyEnum;
then in Delphi a variable of that type can be casted to Byte. Other
casts don't work.
In FPC I must cast it to

Thanks, it helped.
Actually there already was {$MODE Delphi} in an include file.
Apparently it does not work, it must be in every pascal unit.
This PDF package still does not compile with Lazarus. I will se
