[fpc-pascal] StrToInt is using ShortString buffer?

[DougC]

Alexey-



You can always create such a function yourself,  gain experience using it, and share the source with us. That way others can gain experience with it and maybe someday also ask for it to be added to the standard library.

Hello. As I see in the commit https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc/source/-/commit/beecbf1581a986f544fde77aa428e05c21a35f6f

StrToInt always uses ShortString buffer:

Function fpc_Val_SInt_ShortStr(DestSize: SizeInt; Const S:
        ShortString; out Code: ValSInt): ValSInt;

If it is correct: Can we skip using ShortString buffer and have e.g.
    'common' PChar base function for AnsiString/ShortString?-- 
Alexey
