Hi

This program prints "tkUString". Is this by design or should it had print tkWString ?

<code>
program widestrprop_p;
{$mode objfpc}{$H+}
uses
  typinfo;
var
  p : PTypeInfo;
begin
  p := TypeInfo(WideString);
  WriteLn(GetEnumName(TypeInfo(TTypeKind),Ord(p^.Kind)));
  ReadLn;
end.
</code>

Best regards.

More informations :

The tests have been done with fpc trunk :

On Linux ( Ubuntu 8.04 ) : tkUString
On Win32 ( XP ) : tkWString

Best regards.

No, this is currently by design. In 2.3 widestring is a synonym for unicodestring on non windows systems. Only on windows, widestring is a special string being compatible with olestr.

Ok, thanks. Still testing the unicode support with WST.

Best regards.
