Those kind of threads are not a big issue at all. As they are running
during the whole application's lifetime, race conditions with
concurrently running code are about as improbable as the universe
collapsing right now.
It's not strictly necessary since the OS will clean up everything
afterwards, but I prefer to do things properly.
And not call pthread_cancel() like the C++ class you given as example
and stop threads in the middle of their work? ;)
They don't even bother and create all threads in detached state, so
you can not pthread_join() and get an exitcode from them.
while not FFinished do
CheckSynchronize(100);
Check again. You can't even access FFinished from a foreign thread.
I can (FFinished is a private member defined by me, and Destroy, being a
method of the same class, can access private members).
Yes, my mistake. I misinterpreted the lines.
