<pre>Hello,
When targeting iOS with clang using the _Thread_local or __thread declarations
I get the error "Thread-local storage is unsupported for the current target".
It works fine when targeting OS X.
Example code:
(in foo.c)
#include <stdio.h>
__thread int foo;
Having this would be very valuable for mocl (<a href="https://wukix.com/mocl">https://wukix.com/mocl</a>) and I
suspect other languages targeting iOS as well. e.g.
<a href="http://forum.dlang.org/thread/m2d2k79zsl.fsf@comcast.net?page=3">http://forum.dlang.org/thread/m2d2k79zsl.fsf@comcast.net?page=3</a>
"D (also the runtime) relies fairly heavily on thread-local storage
support. LLVM provides an easy way of creating TLS variables via the
thread_local attribute, but support for that is not available on all
target platforms – and it seems that Darwin/ARM is one of them (they
work on Linux resp. glibc)."
I could go down the road of using the pthread functions for TLS, but this would
involve a lot of re-engineering. Having a simple declaration like __thread
allows me to port global variables designed for a single thread into a
multi-threaded context without causing a lot of breakage.
Curious what can be done to get this working on iOS? Willing to put in some
(limited) effort if you can point me in the right direction.
