This is already known since the beginning. It is just an initial implementation to ease porting. > At least, the FPC team needs to rename the class to TSimpleRWSync (to be > Delphi compatible with the same functionality). Sure. I didn't know TSimple*, otherwise i'd suggest to simply delete it, it was always meant as a placeholder. But only when there is a validated, portable substitute. Since though limited and inefficient, the current implementation keeps codebases running. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
