and 4080. The compatibility differences are:
a) writing a chararray which is zero-based but not zero-
terminated does not cause a buffer overflow
b) non-zero-based chararrays can also be read
The difference was that previously, all chararrays were treated
as pchars. In TP/Delphi (and now also in FPC), this is only done
for zero-based chararrays. For non-zero-based ones, the entire
contents of the array should always be used (including #0's).
The default parameters in the system unit for the chararray
helpers are to avoid having to use a define for bootstrapping.
