You can use Linux API calls directly from Delphi 10.2 and up
Posted by jpluimers on 2018/07/05
Paul TOTH figured this out:
you can use any Linux API but it’s not trivial.
- you have to install the “dev” library under Llinux, like “apt-get install xxx-dev” for the xxx API
- you have to update the Linux DSK in Delphi
- you can declare the API as externals function as usual
- now you can compile and deploy the application.
If you miss the steps 1 or 2 you’ll have a linker error.

And there is this great blog post that I found later by [WayBack] Allen Drennan: [WayBack] Importing third-party Linux libraries on Delphi 10.2 Tokyo – grijjy blog

I totally forgot that Delphi has had a function to get the current executing thread – Stack Overflow
Posted by jpluimers on 2018/07/05
While updating some old code fiddling with the[WayBack] GetThreadId function, I wanted to have some TThread wrapper around it. I had totally forgotten there has been already a means for this since Delphi 2009 (which initially had a bug, but that was worked around at first and fixed later): [WayBack] CurrentThread.
The latest version of Delphi, Delphi 2009, has a
CurrentThreadclass property on theTThreadclass.This will return the proper Delphi thread object if it’s a native thread. If the thread is an “alien” thread, i.e. created using some other mechanism or on a callback from a third party thread, then it will create a wrapper thread around the thread handle.
