Hello,

Ok, so far we have a couple of unicode rtl proposals. Will FPC remain compatible with code from Tiburon?

If yes, then we need a set of utf-16 RTL routines, even if another solution is chosen. Yes, surely the utf-16 routines could just call the other routines and do a string conversion, if necessary, but they would need to exists anyway, specially because var parameters need to match exactly.

See my earlier reply. A few var parameters need to be overriden, that's it.

Ok, this is very good. So it doesn't matter which system will be choosen I can still assume that the rtl uses a single unicode encoding: utf-16 in utf16string

Almost. You can transparantly pass utf-16 strings to it. It might insert conversions.

Does gnu pascal have fpc compatible strings? or are they the same as strings in {$mode fpc}

Regards,

Andrew

GNU Pascal only supports strings defined in terms of a schema: http://www.gnu-pascal.de/gpc/Schema-Types.html (which FPC does not support).
