[fpc-pascal] String conversions

I’m making some string helper functions and using ansistring as inputs (in case there are longer strings than 255 chars). What happens when you pass a short string as an ansistring? Does the compiler have to allocate a new ansistring or can it do some smart optimization? Regards, Ryan
