Hi,

I just got a Lazarus update and tried to build it with FPC 2.6.4 but it failed here…

=========================
unit LazUnicode;
{$IFDEF FPC}
 {$mode objfpc}{$H+}
 {$IF FPC_FULLVERSION < 30000}
  {$ERROR needs at least FPC 3.0}    // <------  compiler error
 {$ENDIF}
{$ENDIF}

…snip…
=========================

Does this mean FPC trunk can not be compiled with FPC 2.6.4 any more?

Regards,
Graeme

I guess you mean Lazarus trunk here ?

If correct, that would be bad news...

Michael.

Please open an issue about it. 2.6.4 is still supported.

Thanks for pointing out the typo. Yes, I meant Lazarus Trunk. And indeed it would be bad news is FPC 3.0 is now required.

My bad.
This one unit needs FPC 3 (or Delphi) to be useful. I first added it to repository. It was not used by any existing code -> no problems.
Then I added it to LazUtils package for a new test project. The package compilation indeed failed with FPC 2.6.

Anyway, the LazUnicode unit is cool!
It allows encoding agnostic code and makes the UTF-8 / UTF-16 arguments irrelevant.
