What’s in a Word … ?
[Estimated Reading Time: < 1 minutes] In an exchange with David Heffernan both on SO and in the comments here on Te Waka, I had cause to climb in my own personal “Wayback Machine” and further investigate an apparent change in compiler behaviour between Delphi 2007 and 2009. This change was first identified as the result of some code of mine that stopped working in Delphi 2009. The instinctive reaction is “It must be some Unicode issue”, but it turned out that the “problem” was actually a fix to a compiler bug!
