[fpc-pascal] Delphi 2010 code crashing in Lazarus (0.9.30, Win32)

[Paul Nicholls]

Hi all,
  I have a DLL that was compiled using Delphi 2010 (or Delphi XE, not sure 
which...), and this DLL uses PWideString in a bunch of it's interfaces.

I have some code that uses the DLL which runs fine using D2010, but crashes 
using Lazarus 0.9.30, Win32.  The debugger is being less than helpful in 
allowing me to track down the problem (big AAARRRGGGGHHHH!!!).

Does Lazarus/Freepascal have WideString/AnsiString support (mixing types 
too) out of the box like D2010, or do I have to do different things with 
Lazarus code when mixing WideString/AnsiString values and assignments?

cheers,
Paul
