Thread String cast warnings with Delphi 2009
Mon, Mar 23 2009 6:26 AMPermanent Link

Jaakko Salmenius
When I compile DBISAM (newest source code) with Delphi 2009 I get dozens of warnings. It seems that the code assings short strings to long and
back without casting. To fix this either perform cast in the code or add compiler directive that disables these warnings.

I don't want to turn of these compler warning in my entire application because sometimes these castings are very very dangerous.

I could not reply to the my previous post so here is new one.

This will do the trick

unit dbisamlb;

{$WARN IMPLICIT_STRING_CAST OFF}
{$WARN IMPLICIT_STRING_CAST_LOSS OFF}

and

unit dbisamtb;

{$WARN IMPLICIT_STRING_CAST OFF}
{$WARN IMPLICIT_STRING_CAST_LOSS OFF}

Please update your source code.

Best regards,

I can't say for sure since I've switched over to ElevateDB but I didn't know DBISAM was available for D2009.

Roy,

Yup...been available since v4.27. The announcement:

"We are pleased to announce that the 4.27 version of the DBISAM VCL
Client-Server with Source product is now available. Please see below
for complete download instructions.

Release Notes
4.27 Release Notes

DBISAM 4.27 introduces support for Delphi 2009. However, this does not
mean that DBISAM now supports Unicode or WideString data storage.
DBISAM is still a 100% ANSI database engine."

Thanks.  I couldn't find these warnings in the documentation for Delphi
2009, so the warnings stayed in place.  Where did you find them ?
