Hi All:
I am still trying to get timers to work in a console mode program.
While I was doing that I ran into problems with TThread.
Question: Do console mode programs have a "run loop"?. The reason I am
asking is that both Raspbian and Linux Mint TThread's Synchronize method
apparently does nothing (it works fine when used with LCL). I can call
it, but it doesn't run the method passed as a parameter, nor does it return.
I wrote a trivial console mode program that uses TThread and tested it
on both Raspbian and Linux Mint with exactly the same results.
The simplest Execute method fails:
procedure TXThread.Execute;
begin
Synchronize( Callback );
end;
I have tried stepping into Synchronize, but even the debugger seems to
get lost.
If I change Execute to:
procedure TXThread.Execute;
begin
Callback;
end;
the Callback method is invoked (seemingly in the main thread, but I'm
not sure... Will have to figure it out later).
Thanks,
Don Ziesig
