Hi,

The page about "FPC Unicode support" mentions what has already been updated to preserve character data.
http://wiki.freepascal.org/FPC_Unicode_support#RTL_changes

Is there already a page about what has not (yet) been updated aka does not work with all code pages?

Mattias

As that page mentions, it's an exhaustive list. Hence, nothing else has been updated (other than the primitive string functions such as insert/copy/delete/setstring, and standard I/O such as read/write/readstr/writestr).

In our previous episode, Jonas Maebe said:

literals are written with shortstr in some cases which isn't codepage aware.

[...] From what I remember from an earlier test is that std I/O will fail because literals are written with shortstr in some cases which isn't codepage aware.

Do you remember which function?

look at asm of

{$mode delphi}
const xx = 'bla';
begin
  writeln(xx);
end.

In our previous episode, Mattias Gaertner said:

Never mind. That was without setcodepage I guess, since that determines the default encoding, so it should be ok. IOW if you can get the literals in the right encoding it should work.

You mean this section?
