Hi,

Working on the 'cpstrnew' branch. I got code page conversions working in the <XXX>to<YYY>Move functions - temporarily by hard-coding lookup values.

To remove the hard-coded lookups, I need to access the Encodings array defined in the compiler/cpid.pas unit from the rtl/unix/cwstring.pp unit, but if I include the cpid in the uses clause of the cwstring unit, the compiler complains when I try and compile the RTL - saying it can't find the cpid.pp unit.

How or where do I setup the search path to find the cpid.pas unit?

Regards,

You cannot use compiler units in the RTL. Either that unit (or part of it) has to be moved to the RTL, or the information has to be duplicated.

I thought this might be the answer.

This was going to be my next question. I actually think that unit is in the wrong location, and should be in the RTL. It's simply a lookup array for Code Page numbers to Cope Page names. Florian created it, but currently it is not referenced anywhere (I did a 'find in file' search) in the compiler code.

Florian, you care to comment?
