I suppose you'd need to look at the parent/my post, where it's in full code what this function does ;) tl/dr: it's a function that tries to get a time stamp in (maybe less) thread-safe / (I'd rather call it) reentrant way for use in thread timing and profiling. So no, TTimer not appropriate here. :) el es -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
