[Mono-devel-list] TLS: normal versus __thread

[Zoltan Varga]

                                                 Hi,

  --with-tls=__thread causes the runtime to use variables declared as __thread
for thread-local storage. This is known to not work under older kernels/glibc
versions etc. This is why it is not turned on by default :).

                          Zoltan
