Hi,
I see that some programmers free a previously created thread (when
FreeOnTerminate is False) as follows:
if Assigned(MyThread) then
begin
MyThread.Terminate;
MyThread.WaitFor;
FreeAndNil(MyThread);
end;
However, the documentation on the Destroy() method for TThread says that
"Destroy signals the thread to terminate and then waits for the thread to
return before calling the inherited Destroy method." A quick look at the
source code confirms this statement. Is it therefore necessary to free a
thread as illustrated above or a simple call to Free as in the following
should do the trick:
MyThread.Free;
Thanks in advance for shedding some light on that.
Philippe
