[fpc-pascal] UnicodeString and surrogate pairs

2016-04-27 Thread Graeme Geldenhuys
Hi, Does FPC's RTL (or FCL) include a function to check for UTF-16 surrogate pairs? I'd be very surprised if there isn't, but I have yet to find it in the documentation or source code I searched. I need to process one "character" (loosely based on what you see on the screen) at a time while calcu

[fpc-pascal] Iterator for Unicode encoded strings

2016-04-27 Thread Graeme Geldenhuys
Hi, This question really applies for all Unicode encodings (UTF-8, UTF-16 and UTF-32). In the modern world you simply can't use indexed access into Object Pascal strings to retrieve a "character" (loosely what you see on the screen - ignoring combining diacritics). In my own projects I have custom

[fpc-pascal] FPC create unit path

2016-04-27 Thread Darius Blaszyk
Hi, When I try to compile a test app, I get an error saying the output folder (defined by FU) cannot be created by FPC. I suppose this behaviour is ok? Is there a way to have FPC to create the requested folder? fpc -FU.\test mytest.pp Error: Can't create object file: .\test\mytest.o (error code:
