[fpc-devel] Unicode String Manager on darwin

[Louis Salkind]

With the fpc 2.7.1 trunk, the following simple program does not work 
under darwin unless I also include the unit cwstring:

program project1;
{$mode objfpc}{$H+}
uses sysutils;            // also needs the unit cwstring to work under 
darwin

function toupper(const s: WideString): WideString;
begin
   result := WideUpperCase(s);
end;

begin
   writeln(toupper('hello world'));
end.

---

Is this the intended behavior?

Upon running the program above I get the error:

This binary has no unicodestrings support compiled in.
Recompile the application with a unicodestrings-manager in the program 
uses clause.
An unhandled exception occurred at $0001EECB:
