> A lot of the code in cxa_exception.cpp depends on __cxa_get_globals_fast() returning null if __cxa_get_globals() hasn't been called yet.  However it doesn't reliably do that, at least on OS X if __cxa_get_globals_fast() is called prior to pthread_key_create() running.  Our choice is to either limit our use of __cxa_get_globals_fast() more than we have, or to have __cxa_get_globals_fast() initialize with pthread_key_create() if necessary.  I chose the latter, and replaced pthread_once with a C++11 local static (which should do the same thing).

Are you certain this function is not used in the implementation of _cxa_guard_acquire?  If so, please at least document in the guard-variables code that it is no longer allowed to call this.

John.
