[fpc-pascal] GetCurrentThreadID to string

[Graeme Geldenhuys]

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,
  - Graeme -
