Yes, and that should never happen. At least not for normal exceptions like out of memory, index out of bounds, io error - anything that does not corrupt the heap. I'm catching any exception. But somehow the exception must be delegated to the group's starter thread. (which is not necessarily the process' main thread). > > It would be nice if the exception can be transfered to the main thread. > > Is this possible?

My current idea is to simply pass the exception object to the other thread and raise it there. But I'm not sure if this works always. Maybe I have to set some more RTL values to do that cleanly. > (Florian's suggestion does the reverse: raise in a thread an exception > occurred while executing in the context of the main thread) Yes, but 'synchronize' is only for the process' main thread.
