Title: CodeTools don't show all SetString overloads
Post by: Alextp on August 03, 2020, 07:22:52 pm

In new proj, "SetString" function call tip shows only one call tip:
for RawByteString. But I know that SetString works also for WideString and UnicodeString.

FPC 3.2, Laz trunk.

I only see the RawByteString edition with the Fixes branches of both FPC/Lazarus (see my sig)

According to the documentation there are seven versions of this function: SetString (https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/current/rtl/system/setstring.html).

Yes, and the real oddity is that the hint display is for an overload was not seen as one of the seven overloads.

Thanks!
can we also have all SetLength overloads (ShortString WideString UnicodeString)?
