Hi,

How do I convert the GetCurrentThreadID() result to a string?

At the moment for Linux and Windows the following works:

  var
    lsThreadID: string
  begin
    lsThreadID := IntToStr(GetCurrentThreadID);

But under Mac OS the above code gives me the following error:

Error:
Incompatible type for arg no. 1: Got "Pointer", expected "QWord"

Now I could use PtrInt or Format(), but that means I have to IFDEF the code for Mac OS which I would rather want to prevent. I don't like distributing IFDEFs in my code. Is there some "safe" way of doing this that will work for all supported platforms?

Regards,

lsThreadID := IntToStr(PtrUInt(GetCurrentThreadID));
should solve ANY problem.

thanks,

lsThreadID := SysUtils.IntToStr (QWord(GetCurrentThreadID));
