I have ported a console application from Windows to Linux (Raspbian Buster) and I got to wonder about the check for a defined symbol appearing in the beginning of the code as produced by the Lazarus template:
uses {$IFDEF UNIX}{$IFDEF UseCThreads} cthreads, {$ENDIF}{$ENDIF} Would it not be enough to use this instead: uses {$IFDEF UNIX} cthreads, {$ENDIF} Is there a heavy hit on perfortmance or such if the conditional is not used but instead just checking if we are on UNIX? What happens if one does not use threads in ones code but removes the conditional UseCThreads as shown above? For example if I am using Indy10 objects they are threaded so in that case I assume I need to use cthreads. But in any other case, how can I know that some used package might rely on threads and so needs this uses clause? Basically: What damage does it do if cthreads are in the uses clause but no thread appears in the program code (yet)? -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden -- _______________________________________________ lazarus mailing list lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
