Hi Folks.

Lazarus 1.0.2, FPC 2.6.2, Win32 and Linux x86_64
Something goes wrong with TRTRCriticalSection. There is a difference between Windows and Linux. In a program which will run on Win32 and Linux x86_64, using threads and all this stuff I need to protect some code from multi-threading access.
One critical section looks enough to do the job.
So i code this in Win32 and Linux:

[snip]
On the above line marked as compilation error the compiler complains with the message autoupdateserverthread.pas(255,48) Error: Call by var for arg no. 1 has to match exactly: Got "TRTLCriticalSection" expected "QWord" *winapi.inc*(650,11) Hint: Found declaration: InitializeCriticalSection(var QWord);
winapi ??? Why on Linux ?
No way to get rid of this compilation error
In Win32 the program compiles and runs without errors.

Some help would be appreciated.
The function for initializing a TRTLCriticalSection is InitCriticalSection, not InitializeCriticalSection. If you wouldn't use the Windows unit you'd have seen this error on Windows as well.

@Michael: maybe we should add a seealso for the Init-/Enter-/Leave-/DoneCriticalSection functions to the documentation of the TRTLCriticalSection type.

Regards,
Sven
