I will see about changing the specs.
I wouldn't hold by breath, that's why I simply opted to implemented a new
base class (TThread descendant) and implemented a new WaitFor() in there.
At least now it works as expected on all the platforms I use.
But unfortunately many other FPC developers will first have to experience
the problems, then have to jump through the same hoops I did, to get their
applications working.
Weren't you one of those that said a little while ago that TThread is
ultimately flawed anyway... so maybe a new implementation of WaitFor (and a
new definition of what it does) is a tiny step in the right direction.
No need to get desperate; I already discussed it, and we'll change the
implementation as you propose. I'll do it personally.
