{
  This file contains the implementation of the AnsiString type,
  and all things that are needed for it.
  AnsiString is defined as a 'silent' pchar :
  a pchar that points to :

  @-12 : Longint for maximum size;
  @-8  : Longint for size;
  @-4  : Longint for reference count;
  @    : String + Terminating #0;
  Pchar(Ansistring) is a valid typecast.
  So AS[i] is converted to the address @AS+i-1.

  Constants should be assigned a reference count of -1
  Meaning that they can't be disposed of.
}

Type
  PAnsiRec = ^TAnsiRec;
  TAnsiRec = Packed Record
    Maxlen,
    len,
    ref   : Longint;
    First : Char;
  end;

Const
  AnsiRecLen = SizeOf(TAnsiRec);
  FirstOff   = SizeOf(TAnsiRec)-1;

  $Log$
  Revision 1.21  2001-08-30 15:43:15  jonas
    * converted adding/comparing of strings to compileproc. Note that due
      to the way the shortstring helpers for i386 are written, they are
      still handled by the old code (reason: fpc_shortstr_compare returns
      results in the flags instead of in eax and fpc_shortstr_concat
      has wierd parameter conventions). The compilerproc stuff should work
      fine with the generic implementations though.
    * removed some nested comments warnings

  Revision 1.20  2001/08/29 19:49:04  jonas
    * some fixes in compilerprocs for chararray to string conversions
    * conversion from string to chararray is now also done via compilerprocs

  Revision 1.19  2001/08/28 13:24:47  jonas
    + compilerproc implementation of most string-related type conversions
    - removed all code from the compiler which has been replaced by
      compilerproc implementations (using (ifdef hascompilerproc) is not
      necessary in the compiler)

  Revision 1.18  2001/08/13 12:40:16  jonas
    * renamed some str(x,y) and val(x,y) helpers so the naming scheme is the
      same for all string types
    + added the str(x,y) and val(x,y,z) helpers for int64/qword to
      compproc.inc

  Revision 1.17  2001/08/01 15:00:10  jonas
    + "compproc" helpers
    * renamed several helpers so that their name is the same as their
      "public alias", which should facilitate the conversion of processor
      specific code in the code generator to processor independent code
    * some small fixes to the val_ansistring and val_widestring helpers
      (always immediately exit if the source string is longer than 255
       chars)
    * fixed fpc_dynarray_high and fpc_dynarray_length if the dynarray is
      still nil (used to crash, now return resp -1 and 0)

  Revision 1.16  2001/07/10 18:04:37  peter
    * merged textfile, readlink and concat ansistring fixes

  Revision 1.15  2001/07/09 21:15:41  peter
    * Length made internal
    * Add array support for Length

  Revision 1.14  2001/07/09 11:41:57  florian
    * another MT fix

  Revision 1.13  2001/07/08 21:00:18  peter
    * various widestring updates, it works now mostly without charset
      mapping supported

  Revision 1.12  2001/07/04 12:17:09  jonas
    * removed DestSize parameter from declaration of ValAnsiSignedInt64
      (merged)

  Revision 1.11  2001/05/27 14:28:44  florian
    + made the ref. couting MT safe

  Revision 1.10  2001/04/13 18:06:07  peter
    * upcase, lowercase for ansistring

  Revision 1.9  2000/12/10 15:00:14  florian
    * val for int64 hopefully works now correct

  Revision 1.8  2000/12/08 14:04:43  jonas
    + added pos(char,ansistring), because there is also a pos(char,shortstring)
      and without the ansistring version, the shortstring version is always
      called when calling pos(char,pchar), even when using $h+ (because the
      first parameter matches exactly) (merged)

  Revision 1.7  2000/11/06 20:34:24  peter
    * changed ver1_0 defines to temporary defs

  Revision 1.6  2000/10/21 18:20:17  florian
    * a lot of small changes:
       - setlength is internal
       - win32 graph unit extended
       ....

  Revision 1.5  2000/08/29 18:39:42  peter
    * fixed chararray to ansistring (merged)

  Revision 1.4  2000/08/24 07:37:21  jonas
    * fixed bug in setlength (it sometimes read after the end of the heap)
      and small improvement to ansistring_to_chararray conversion (merged
      from fixes branch)

  Revision 1.3  2000/08/09 19:31:18  marco
   * fixes for val(int64 or qword) to ansistring

  Revision 1.2  2000/07/13 11:33:42  michael
  + removed logs
