[Lazarus] More thread questions.

2010-07-12 Thread Frank Church 
Can I take it that a thread will never execute until the Execute procedure
is called, and if the Execute procedure is exited, it will not run again
until called by the main thread?

i.e Resuming a thread which has exited will achieve nothing unless it is
called within the scope of an existing Execute?

Hi Frank,
  AFAIK, a thread WILL execute immediately exiting the Create method unless you 
pass False to the suspended variable in the create method, and call Resume in 
the main thread later on.

I don't think resuming a thread will never do anything if the threads execute 
method has fallen through, but people can feel free to correct me on this :)

cheers,
Paul
