Re: Suggested Alternative Unicode Implementation (for Rudy+ miscothers)

In article <47d5a268$1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>,

Yet it is much more insidious of a problem due to the overwhelming
ubiquity of the "string" datatype. I am concerned that this would be
much more confusing and difficult to handle because the rules would
shift around.

Hmm, I'm not so sure I see at as any more confusing than an already
potentially confusing situation (ref e.g. "TBitmap") especially since it
would be obvious that a String type compatability issue is present, vs
some almost entirely inscrutable type-hiding behaviour.



If you had the source for unit A. Even if you did have the source, the
compile would still fail because the compiler would try to link against
the precompiled DCU. Since Unit A's source didn't change, it won't
automatically recompile it.

Again, this is not a new problem.

Everyone surely knows by now that a full build is mandatory after
changing project options/defines etc to be sure that your changes are
properly respected by any source units.
