I was hoping to port it to FPC once the anonymous method support landed, but AFAICT the cross platform port got pushed into OTL v4 and it looks like that stalled a year ago. Once FPC supports anonymous functions as well I assume that support will start to become alive again. ;) Does System.Threading expose an API that could take either code > references or anonymous methods?

As Sven said, though, no one has started on it, and anyone who did work on it would have to be careful to not taint it with code from Delphi's implementation. The suggested way is to write tests for the Delphi implementation and to implement the FPC one based on those tests and the Delphi documentation. Regards, Sven
