Hi there, I've got a unit I'm porting from Windows to Linux and I came across a QueueUserAPC (Kernel32 Windows) I make to add a callback method that gets executed by the thread I added this to.
function QueueUserAPC(Callback: Pointer; hThread: THandle; dwData:DWORD): boolean; stdcall; When the Thread gets around to it, it processes the callback function I passed in during the queue call. Judging by the performance of this method I would say that the Windows Kernel maintains a queue of events to process for each thread. And this function allows me to attach a callback to that queue so I can allocate memory within that stack rather than the stack of the calling thread. This feature is important as I want to keep memory allocation to specific threads. Does Threading under Linux have anything like this? Have any of you done anything like this under *nix? Thanks for any feedback. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
