As you likely noticed, Delphi 11 officially does not support Windows XP anymore. You can make your application compatible with XP again by simple set. In Project Options|Building|Delphi Compiler|Linking set "Set OS Version fields in PE Headers" and "Set SubSystem Version fields in PE Headers" to "5.1". Unless your application uses System.Threading.pas (TTask etc) you should run it under Windows XP with no problems. But if so, then you have to tweak this unit. Threading objects actually use in their internals new TThread.GetTickCount64 method, which is hardwired to Windows API GetTickCount64 which is not available in Windows XP API. Take this unit from "source\rtl\common" folder in Delphi 11 installation. Declare new local function in the beginning of implementation section of this unit like this: function _GetTickCount64: UInt64; begin if TOSVersion.Major<6 then Result := TThread.GetTickCount else Result := TThread.GetTickCount64; end; and replace all occurrences of TThread.GetTickCount64 calls with _GetTickCount64. For Win32 applications then copy this modified unit to \lib\win32\debug and \lib\win32\release folders in Delphi 11 installation and rename original System.Threading.dcu to e.g. _System.Threading.dcu. Then build your project which uses System.Threading with Debug and Release configuration. New System.Threading.dcu should be created in mentioned folders. After this you should remove modified System.Threading.pas from these folders to prevent its recurrent compilation. Now your Delphi 11 Win32 applications should run under Windows XP with no External Exception crash.

Hello, I need to implement TCP client(s) in thread(s) with reconnect feature (if connection is closed with error then client tries to reconnect) which should run in service. I created server and client demo app to test this concept but I met following issues and I'm really not able to find out what's wrong in my implementation. When I run server, start it and start internal client (client implemented the same exe) server throws "error:00000000:lib(0):func(0):reason(0), State: before SSL initialization, connection closed unexpectedly" in OnSslHandshakeDone and disconnects client. When I start (the same) client as standalone exe, it works. When I run and start server, then run and start standalone client and then kill server app (to simulate connection error) client starts to reconnect and when server is started again TWO client connections are established (!?) from client application. The second one is correct and the first one is some ghost or whatever. Sometimes while client tries to reconnect after text is received from server or sent to server, first connection attempt causes various exceptions and client thread is terminated. Can you please inspect my code in attachment? Test self-signed certificate for SSL is included (SSC.pfx). Thanks in advance ICSTCP.ZIP

TCP clients are connected to devices (servers) or devices connects to TCP servers as clients and receive raw data to stream. Once the data is identified as valid input (data has header and terminator or etc) it is passed to thread which parses data by protocol (defined by header) and creates unified "signal" structure which is pushed to Buffer. Many data sources feed this Buffer this way (hundreds data packets per second). Other TCP clients are connected to other application (TCP server) which processes these signals. More sending TCP clients ensure faster signal delivery to main app. See attached scheme.

I really don't know what is wrong with thread containing TWSocket where in Execute method buffer is repeatedly asked for data and if data is available then TWSocket sends it. Why this solution is not recommended? Buffer is FIFO and it is (and should be) independent of any communication or messaging. It features Push and Pop methods and it is up to any kind of client to ask it for data or feed it with data. No trigger mechanism is usable because if new client is created it simply can't wait for any message signalling there's data available. It must look itself for it. Repeatedly. Thread is the best solution for this in my opinion. Only problem is with issues I mentioned in initial post.

Well, I'm really lost. I need several tcp clients to pop data from buffer simultaneously and send them as quick as possible. I need either timer or loop for this, but both are blocking, or thread where tcp client is its member but it does not work correctly :(. If there were some event like OnIdle or something like that where I would call pop and send when socket is ready or available then I understood how to do it without thread. But I didn't find anything like that. Buffer is fed with data from several processing threads massively so it is not too good idea to trigger all sending clients from it.
