  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 :

  @-8  : SizeInt for reference count;
  @-4  : SizeInt for size;
  @    : 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
    Ref,
    Len   : SizeInt;
    First : Char;
  end;

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