Today I encountered a similar issue with using threadvars for the
input, output and err variables in system when trying to use the
input as a win32 sync handle with the CreateFile API. Fails miserably.
This is specified in the windows API documentation, but is broken in
FPC because the IO are not global to a process but threadvar.
Would you care to explain this ?
The variables Input, Output and StdErr may be threadvars, but they
share a single common OS handle. So any OS-specific functions should
still work if you are using the handles.
No they do not, see my previous post, hence my problem. Mind the words
"even if" in the win api doc cit.
I may be * very * wrong, but it simply doesn't work as expected. Under
Delphi it works as expected and in line with the API documentation. I am
investigating Linux (Ubuntu and my own woof builds) to get a similar
example working without workarounds.
