Hi,

How far will Unicode support go in FPC when it is one day implemented? Anybody know if the following is allowed in D2009?

Please add to the list... :-)

eg:

1..) My I have the following class names?

     type
        TMyåClaß = class(TObject)
        end;

2..) What about function and parameter names?

     type
        TMyåClaß = class(TObject)
        public
           property Nãàm: unicodestring read ....;
        end;

Regards,
- Graeme -

Well, in this case: its not in the language, so no need for it ;) Or it would be for ancient greek to remain Delphi compatible :)

Oops, as a joke I posted the same message in the Delphi newsgroups. To my *huge* surprise, unicode identifiers _are_ supported in D2009. I guess CodeGear is a bit ahead in some areas. ;-)

For those that haven't see it yet, here is D2009's take on this...

In our previous episode, Graeme Geldenhuys said:

Some observations:
- I'm not entirely sure, but the dialog that he shows to install Eastern Asian support might be Vista+ (XP still having a separate Eastern Asian version)
- The source is in UTF-8. NH says this.
- the showmessage works, which means the -W form is called. THis is probably the reason why w9x is not supported anymore, they simply always do -W.

Never say never, but the compiler uses shortstrings internally for speed. To do that well we would need a shortwidestring type or something with a large lookup table for case insensitivity.
