Even when the Delphi team was large, the documentation was lacking, so with the reduced Delphi team size, I don’t have high expectations of the below to get fixed.
But since much of the post Delphi 7 run-time library looks a lot like the .NET core, you can usually fallback to the Microsoft documentation.
Tip for the doc team: make http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/Libraries/en/System.TMonitor.Enter more clear. Especially that if the same thread calls TMonitor.Enter more than one time, it will allow entry without blocking as per System.Threading.Monitor.Enter Method (Object) documentation https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/de0542zz
(note that this got introduced in Delphi XE3: http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/Libraries/XE3/en/System.TMonitor.Enter)

I knew that methods on interfaces were not compatible with the procedure of object (like [WayBack] TProc)or function of object construct, but they are also not compatible with the reference to procedure or reference to function construct.
Via: [WayBack] I try to call an Interface method from TThread.Syncrhonize()…and Berlin don’t accept that… – Paul TOTH – Google+
If you want it fixed, vote for [RSP-13007] Interface methods are not assignable to anonymous method variable – Embarcadero Technologies (Thanks Stefan Glienke).
You can work around it with an anonymous method.
This won’t work:
program Project1;
{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}
uses
SysUtils;
type
ITest = interface
['{B5AD87E8-A3DF-4B83-BE14-997C2E76A06C}']
procedure Run;
end;
TTest = class(TInterfacedObject, ITest)
procedure Run;
end;
procedure TTest.Run;
begin
Writeln('PASS')
end;
var
test: ITest; // <- change this to TTest and it compiles
proc: TProc;
begin
test := TTest.Create;
proc := procedure begin test.Run; end; // <- this compiles
proc := test.Run; // E2010 Incompatible types: 'TProc' and 'procedure, untyped pointer or untyped parameter'
proc();
Readln;
end.
