[snip] > Object *obj = all_eo_objects[eoid]; Should the table of tables ever free tables? Why do I ask that? Because the number of Eo_Ids should become stable and actually spending time freeing for later allocating again seems wasteful. But even more importantly, it would be possible for me to implement a lock-free table. The idea of TLS is not a bad idea anyway, because it avoids cache thrashing and is an interesting idea for safe-guarding non-thread-safe objects. However, TLS tables would need deallocation because threads come and go and might just create thousands of objects, moving them to another thread and then just stay idle waiting for events for hours, wasting a lot of memory in the table. However, having thread-safe objects through a lock-free table could still be very valuable, IMO and not freeing entry tables from Eo_Id table seems like a very reasonable compromise.
