Well, maybe I misunderstood the original post, but my understanding was
that it's about a _Pascal_ program calling some C function (which is in
fact just a wrapper for C++, but that shouldn't matter) and passing some
other Pascal function as a callback. If this is the case and the callback
function runs within the same thread as the block calling the C wrapper,
Pascal units should be initialized since the main Pascal program startup,
shouldn't they? If a new thread is started by the C++ program, you need to
perform (Pascal) initialization of the thread (probably on the first entry
to the callback function). Could you clarify this, please (link to the
complete sources or preferrably their simplified but still compilable
version would probably serve the best as already pointed out by Peter)?
