I didn’t know they were captured by reference! Does this mean they’re
essentially pointers pointing the same variable?
Even so I’m trying now to modifying the example by copying to a local variable
but I still see this same behavior suggesting there isn’t actually a copy. Why
is this?
callback := TCallback.Create(procedure
var
index: integer;
begin
index := i;
writeln('Invoked: ', index, ' id: ',
HexStr(TThread.CurrentThread));
end);
