According to this article

We need to use anonymous procedure to pass parameter to main thread,
but while that not exists in FPC right now (not sure I tested
FPC3.1.1)

Why not adding another param  to synchronize/queue with procedure
pointer, another pointer/object, to pass it to the procedure when call
it.

procedure MyProc(AObject: TObject);

in the thread
Synchronize(MyProc, MyObject);

It would be delphi incompatible, and only complicate matters once
anonymous methods is done.

I myself still use the same scheme I used during D7, a pool of objects
and a queue, and then synchronize draining the queue.

The only change is that generics it is easier to instantiate them
typesafe.

yes I know Delphi incompatible, but it will not break compatibility,
FPC should have its own way, BTW yeah I don't think I will see this
feature in my future  .

I still using pool, queue too.
