Hi Rodd, There must be other venues where this discussion can be conducted, (and I'd love to follow those threads) but my vote is to stick with Harbour-specific topics in the Harbour newsgroups. Sorry to have intruded. I felt led to contribute per Pritpal's invitation on the Xbase++ NG w

I'll stick my nose in here with the suggestion that perhaps this is not the proper place to discuss this material. As valid as the topic might be on a neutral newsgroup, there are all sorts of possible ramifications and unintended consequences that can come of discussions here that could affect dev

I have attempted to post my Xbase++ MT knowledge on the nabble.com link you provided. However it keeps saying that the post was not accepted by the mail list. As I spent some effort trying to share, can someone confirm that it is posted for all to see or what I need to do to post it. It is som

The key is in: lInUse := ! lInUse line. This code can be MT safe _only_ if xBase++ executes this whole line as one atomic operation. So far I haven't found any information about such functionality. I see no sign this expression would be atomic. I'd think if it would be, there would exist some

I can understand the feelings of Jan to be honest. I have no idea what kind of newsgroup is where you've posted this message, but if XBase++ developers frequent it, this can easily be taken as offense and the result is kinda predictable. Set aside the above, I think we have enough expertise and
