I did all of my research on memory barriers a while ago. The best site that describes this "phenomena" is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_barrier There are others here that helped walk me through this a while ago, but to me, this is a non-issue. I intend to use interlocked statements for mission critical memory assignments. I would suggest the poster do more questions than suggest there is a problem with either FPC, POSIX, or pthreads implementations, or kernel bugs, or OOP principals regarding inter-thread memory access to LCL objects. Anyone designing systems should already know how to employ techniques. _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
