分配

將字串分配給不同的字串型別以及執行時環境對它們的行為方式。在適用的情況下，簡要描述了記憶體分配，引用計數，對字元的索引訪問和編譯器錯誤。

var

  WS: Widestring; {managed pointer, with a bit of compiler support}

  AS:= US; {the UTF16 in US is converted to "extended" ascii taking into account the codepage in AS possibly losing data in the process}  
  U8:= US; {safe copy of US to U8, all data is converted from UTF16 into UTF8}
  RB:= US; {RB = 'test1'#0 i.e. conversion into RawByteString uses system default codepage}
  A1251:= RB; {no conversion takes place, only reference copied. Ref count incremented }
