Cross platform way of waiting for multiple objects

[FPiette 393]

I'm converting some software of mine to cross platform (Mainly Windows and Linux). I have to replace Windows WaitForMultipleObjects where objects to be waited may be any combination of several pipe handles (ready to read), socket handles, mutex and semaphores.

 

I don't see anything obvious in unit System.SyncObjs.

 

Any help appreciated.

Hello,

I don't think it will be easy ... personally I rewrote such code to use only a single wake-up event.

 

But a Google search for WaitForMultipleObjects linux does have some interesting results, for example:

There are Stackoverflow results too, but the site is down right now, so I can't check them.

quite interesting..

WaitForMultipleObjects Linux

 

Not sure what is implemented in delphi already for linux.

TEvent for sure.
