How to declare a string constant in project parameters? 3 weeks 5 days ago #18933

Roman Topic Author Offline Junior Member Posts: 116 Thank you received: 0	I want to use this construction: {$if defined(VendorStr)} const Vendor = VendorStr; // ???? {$else} const Vendor = 'Unknown'; {$endif} Than I add user definition to project parameters: -dVendorStr:='Self' However, it does not work... What should I do to get the desired result? In C/C++ I use preprocessor directive ## to convert macros to string literal...

Roman Topic Author Offline Junior Member Posts: 116 Thank you received: 0	If you add the -Sm parameter, then everything compiles, but with very strange effects for Cyrillic strings, for example, with -dVendorStr:='это это' compiles successfully, but -dVendorStr:='этоэто' no longer compiles... In addition, it is unclear in what encoding this string constant is obtained...

Yes sir, that was the first thing I read! However, it either doesn't work at all, or it doesn't work with the result I want.

So I add command line macro support -Sm, and then I define a command line macro -dVendosStr:='BooFoo' . I expect the following code

{$if defined(VendorStr)}
const Vendor = VendorStr;
{$else}
const Vendor = 'Unknown';
{$endif}

to set the constant Vendor to 'BooFoo'. But I get a compile error. What did I do wrong?

If I modify my macro by inserting a space -dVendosStr:='Boo Foo', everything magically compiles! What changed?!

What character encoding does this constant come in the code in? When I try to output it, I see black diamonds with question marks (I use Cyrillic string and UTF8 in my project).

Maybe I don't understand something, so please clarify how exactly I should do it.

The attached archive contains a project with 4 build targets:
1. Undefined - compiles successfully
2. English 1 word - does not compile
3. English 2 words - compiles successfully
4. Cyrillic - compiles successfully, but is displayed incorrectly

All settings are made in the "User Options" section of project
