[fpc-devel] Re: Multi threading support

[Boian Mitov]

We have been using this for the last 4 years, although we switched from 
MuliRead locks to lightweight CriticalSections in V 4.0 . We simply 
increased the number of locks and didn't need the multiread functionality 
any more so we reduced the time spent locking. The interface functional 
enclosement however is today the same as it was 4 years ago ;-) .
I first used this trick when I developed the OpenWire initially - 
www.openwire.org .

  With best regards,
