Hi all! I'm searching a way to implement a TFPTimer that don't uses threads. On Linux and FreeBSD I found the timer_create and family functions. My question is: What these functions has wrong?

Hi again! I'm still fighting with timers on Linux, and due a lot of "problems" using timer_create and signals on Lazarus, I decided to change my implementation to to user timerfd_create. My current question is: TApplication has some mechanism that check periodically changes in a file descriptor? 2016-03-05 17:58 GMT-03:00 Michael Van Canneyt : > > > On Sat, 5 Mar 2016, Fabio Luis Girardi wrote: > > Lazarus/Freepascal has some config to ignore a signal? >> > > No, you must install this yourself using the unix,baseunix units. > > Michael. > >> >> 2016-03-05 15:34 GMT-03:00 Michael Van Canneyt : >> >> >>> >>> On Sat, 5 Mar 2016, Fabio Luis Girardi wrote: >>> >>> Hi all! >>> >>>> >>>> I'm searching a way to implement a TFPTimer that don't uses threads.
