It would be cool to use fast TLS via __declspec(thread) on Windows (and __thread on gcc/clang). Due to WinXP bustage that only works for variables in the .EXE or in DLLs statically linked by the .EXE, so not libxul, but in our shipped Windows builds mozglue.dll is statically linked to firefox.exe so we could put __declspec(thread) variables there.
However, that would break if someone tried to dynamically load libxul on WinXP in the context of a .EXE which did not statically link mozglue.dll. Does anyone know if that's a problem? I assume no-one's finding the Firefox libxul.dll and loading it from their own .EXE, but maybe they're building their own? Do we care?
