Rename Asynch to Async (unit name and classes)

The word "Asynchronous" is usually abbreviated as async, not asynch: https://i.imgur.com/i4MiMIn.png

Re: Rename Asynch to Async (unit name and classes)

I would leave it at asynch - while you are right - async may just become a keyword at some point, as it is in other languages already, and thus may break compiling, when used in/as unit names ;-)

The keyword argument is a good one, even if I didn't suspect it.

Re: Rename Asynch to Async (unit name and classes)

Google suggests the most used term.

But i think that both are correct.

In description itself mentions "out of synch".

Re: Rename Asynch to Async (unit name and classes)

Since we don't use "Asynch" as a stand-alone word, it won't break as a potential keyword...

I have therefore renamed every Asynch into Async everywhere, including the mormot.net.async.pas unit and all types.

In Delphi it might break, a unit name like mORMot.Core.Const would not work.

Just sayin' ;-)

I don't think async/await conception (at last in form of keywords) comes to Pascal world in the nearest 20 years, so nothing to warry about smile
