Delphi 10.1 Berlin Native support for Utf8String and RawByteString

Hi Arnaud,

Since Delphi 10.1 Berlin, Delphi has native support for Utf8String and RawByteString type on all platforms:

AFAIK, mORMot doesn't support Mac OS X yet. With the above-mentioned new language features, can I assume that it'll make it possible (easier?) to make mORMot support Mac OS X? Thanks.

This Utf8String and RawByteString is for the NextGen compiler, i.e. Android and iOS.
But it is not enough for mORMot compability: the source code tree does not support ARC - and I would not to, since it would be time consuming, for nothing.
See http://blog.synopse.info/post/2016/02/0 … nd-of-2016

Mac OSX does have Utf8String and RawByteString, since the beginning.
We support this platform for clients, in cross-platform generated code.
And main mORMot has been reported to work with OSX, but not with Delphi, but with FPC.
Any input is welcome!

Hey ab, this is a very vulnerable info to me! Thanks!
