I'm afraid that if a TCriticalSection is used, all threads except one is
blocked.
I my example, many threads are requesting a response from an object, and
this object should serve more than one thread at a time. The rest should
be blocked, as with a critical section. Here a semaphore, I understand
is very useful since it is possible to specify the number of threads
that can communicate with a shared resource simultaneously.
Some hours ago I found SDL2 headers for FreePascal:
https://github.com/danpla/sdl2-fpc
You also need SDL2.DLL:
http://libsdl.org/download-2.0.php
I took SDL2.pas and SDL2.DLL and put it in the project directory, added
sdl2 to uses, and started using it:
SDL_CreateSemaphore(MaxThreads);
SDL_SemWait(Semaphore);
SDL_SemPost(Semaphore);
It works perfectly!

Later I noticed that FreePascal already comes with a version of SDL in
"C:\fpc\packages\sdl"
But that version seems older than SDL2.
Btw, There is DLL's for Linux, windows, MacOS X, but not MacOS.
It would of course anyway be best not to have to use a DLL. Is it
possible to translate the semaphore part of SDL to native FreePascal?
Maybe difficult?
Or perhaps it is possible to achieve the whole thing without a semaphore?

How to do that under Lazarus and Linux?
Linux and Windows: TCriticalSection.
