Hi,
i want to duplicate/clone a thread with the stack and tls,

standard function fork() in c. Is in the phobos library a
method that do
the same thing?

Apparently, there isn't. However, you can use fork() directly
from the core.sys.posix.unistd module.

I had the same idea, but assumed (maybe wrongly) that it messes
up the garbage collection because it creates a copy of the
allocated objects in tls that the gc is not aware of. I searched
the core.thread reference to see if it has a similar method but
found none. Then i posted this question. So is it safe to use
fork()? I now realized that i don't know how the gc works.
