[Lazarus] Threads

[Antonio Fortuny]

Hi folks.

Wen launching a thread, the process responsible for the thread object 
creation and the call to TThread.Start and the thread EXECUTE procedure, 
run in parallel. That's why the SYNCHRONIZE procedure exists and that 
the developer has to pay attention to not share code between threads.
So far, so good.
Now imagine that the EXECUTE procedure of a thread creates a useful 
object (TMyObject) with properties and methods. This thread is launched 
half a dozen times to process half a dozen simultaneous operations.
My question is:
How the properties and methods of the TMyObject created in every 
launched thread are they managed from one thread to another. As far as 
the data segment is concerned, no problem, I guess that every instance 
of the TMyObject has its own data in its thread address space: no mix. 
But what about the code and the local methods stack: will it be shared ? 
And if answer is yes, to what should I take care ?

The question is far from trivial: I try to keep the EXECUTE procedure as 
small as possible and spread the code and data over a number of 
specialized units avoiding to load the EXECUTE procedure stack with 
heavy data ans structures.

I apologize if my question doesn't sound very clear, but it's not even 
clear in my mind :-[

Antonio.
