Most information can also be found by reading the source and accompanying comments. A thread is created using BeginThread, which in turn calls pthread_create. So the threads here are always posix threads. Posix doesn't define anything for suspending threads as this is inherintly unsafe. Just don't suspend threads at points they cannot control. Therefore, I didn't implement .Suspend() if its called from outside the threads execution flow (except on Linux _without_ NPTL). The implementation for .suspend uses a semaphore, which is initialized at thread creation. If the thread tries to suspend itself, we simply let it wait on the semaphore until it is unblocked by someone else who calls .Resume. If a thread is supposed to be suspended (from outside its own path of execution) on a system where the symbol LINUX is defined, two things are possible. 1) the system has the LinuxThreads pthread implementation 2) the system has NPTL as the pthread implementation. In the first case, each thread is a process on its own, which as far as know actually violates posix with respect to signal handling. But we can detect this case, because getpid(2) will return a different PID for each thread. In that case, sending SIGSTOP to the PID associated with a thread will actually stop that thread only. In the second case, this is not possible. But getpid(2) returns the same PID across all threads, which is detected, and TThread.Suspend() does nothing in that case. This should probably be changed, but I know of no way to suspend a thread when using NPTL. If the symbol LINUX is not defined, then the unimplemented function SuspendThread is called. Johannes Berg , Sunday, November 16 2003 } // ========== semaphore stuff ========== { I don't like this. It eats up 2 filedescriptors for each thread, and those are a limited resource. If you have a server programm handling client connections (one per thread) it will not be able to handle many if we use 2 fds already for internal structures. However, right now I don't see a better option unless some sem_* functions are added to systhrds. I encapsulated all used functions here to make it easier to change them completely. } function SemaphoreInit: Pointer; begin SemaphoreInit := GetMem(SizeOf(TFilDes)); fppipe(PFilDes(SemaphoreInit)^); end; procedure SemaphoreWait(const FSem: Pointer); var b: byte; begin fpread(PFilDes(FSem)^[0], b, 1); end; procedure SemaphorePost(const FSem: Pointer); begin fpwrite(PFilDes(FSem)^[1], #0, 1); end; procedure SemaphoreDestroy(const FSem: Pointer); begin fpclose(PFilDes(FSem)^[0]); fpclose(PFilDes(FSem)^[1]); FreeMemory(FSem); end; // =========== semaphore end =========== var ThreadsInited: boolean = false; {$IFDEF LINUX} GMainPID: LongInt = 0; {$ENDIF} const // stupid, considering its not even implemented...
