Subject: [fpc-pascal]two questions plz help
Reply-To:
Hello fpc-pascal,
i have two questions :
1. how i can write multithreaded program in free pascal ( using
linux unit and clone function ??? )
AFAIK you can not. Unfortunatelly, FPC in its current (stable) version is not thread-safe - the problem is in the libraries (RTL). Or maybe I'm wrong and the multithreading support has been recently added (in one of the 'devel' versions ?)
2. how i can move program to background - i want no output from program just its running in background ( to close command.com )
COMMAND.COM - do you mean a DOS (go32) program ? In the case of Linux programs you can send a program to background running it with '&'. In DOS if you would like to EXECute a third-party program from your own program without any visible output you can use redirection '>' and send the output to a file.
