Hi Iain, >> Thanks.

that would be great, thanks. >> and >> [libphobos] Work around lack of dlpi_tls_modid before Solaris 11.5 >> https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2019-01/msg01664.html >> > > Johannes has already commented there, and he is right about needing a > way to get tls data from DSOs. Understood. Maybe I can find a way to generalize the hack derived from sections_ldc.d to TLS segments outside the executable. >> of course.

I don't think you need concern yourself with this very much: it's just a hack around a Solaris ld bug, suggested by the Solaris linker engineers for the moment. Once the dlpi_tls_modid patch lands in Solaris 11.5 (this week or next), I'll ask if they see a chance to have that bug fixed in time for the Solaris 11.5 release. If so, nobody besides myself will ever be exposed to this issue.
