It is unrelated to those funcion definitions. Apparently, we forgot to include a read() helper for reading a single widechar in the RTL. I guess you are doing a read(param^) inside ftest, which requires this helper.

You can work around it by reading an entire widestring at once, if that is possible in your program.
