Hello

I was wondering if anyone had any luck making a multi-threaded TCP/IP server in FreePascal? Any pointers or sample could would be excelent.

Thanks!

Tim

You need only two tools. WD-40 and duct tape.
If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40.
If it moves and shouldn't, use the tape.

The heapmanager in the RTL is not threadsafe. Using the cmem unit it is possible as long as you don't use standard pascal IO like Writeln()/Readln(). You need to use the fdopen() from the Unix unit.

What about forking multiple processes, as Apache does? Would that be safer?
