Did Lazarus will serve unicode?

(1/2) > >>

Borneq:
From Delphi 2009 string everywhere means WideString and components calls Windows Api functions with W at end as Windows.ExtTextOutW.
Is possible this big change in FreePascal?

theo:
Lazarus is using UTF-8 for Unicode. So you can use Unicode in Lazarus apps.

A D2009 compatible string is planned afaik, but I don't know if or when this will happen.

felipemdc:
Lazarus supports unicode through UTF-8 since 2008:

http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/LCL_Unicode_Support

Before Delphi implemented it.

Borneq:
string means AnsiString or UnicodeString?
if I have
 s:string
Length(s) count number bytes or number chars?

Bytes. Use UTF8Length in LCLProc to count number of UTF-8 chars.
