I don't think writing __gshared is much of a burden. You can use
-vtls to print out all variables that are TLS, and add that to an
automated test to check you don't have any accidentally. I have
thought before that a --no-threads compiler switch that does not
link the key thread functions but makes __gshared the default
might be a good enhancement for your use case. Then if you
accidentally call some code that uses std.parallelism internally
you would get a link error.
If i want fast code, why should i make use of ugly syntax?
1. If you want fast code, why aren't you using threads?
2. By default D supports threads and accidental data races are
far worse than ugly syntax.
