Author: Amine Moulay Ramdane

Description:

A "future" is an object that promises to provide a value sometime in the 
future. The value is computed in a background thread. When the 
application needs the value, it requests the value from the future--if 
the future isn't done, the application waits until the value is ready.

All the synchronization issues are hidden from the application.

Use the TFuture class by deriving a new class that overrides
the Compute method.

I have provided you with a demo inside the zip file, please look at it 
inside testfuture.pas file.

Language: FPC Pascal v2.2.0+ / Delphi 5+: http://www.freepascal.org/

Required FPC switches: -O3 -Sd

-Sd for delphi mode....

Required Delphi XE-XE7 and Tokyo switch: -$H+ -DXE

You can configure it as follows from inside defines.inc file:

{$DEFINE CPU32} and {$DEFINE Windows32} for 32 bit systems

{$DEFINE CPU64} and {$DEFINE Windows64} for 64 bit systems

- Platform:  Windows, Unix and Linux (x86)



Thank you,
Amine Moulay Ramdane.
