We don't want to have a separate LDT for each thread in libkse; it adds overhead, limits number of threads, and isn't needed. Also, while you may be able to have binary compat for TLS, you will not for the rest of the threading system so any advantage in that regard is marginal. -- Dan Eischen _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
