Ron implies that there is data shared between the two. Perhaps we
provide for the opportunity to do so by providing these functions in the
threadlib API, even if there is no such sharing taking place today.
As I pointed out in my other recent reply, the TLS I was referring to
was an internal one used by hythr itself and not the same as the TLS
provided by hythread_tls_**() functions. So Angela's statement is
correct.
Ron.
