A quick search of STATIC_TLS there gives this as the top link: https://fins.com/rcmail/?_task=mail&_action=compose&_reply_uid=13673&_mbox=INBOX&_all=1 Which provides this definition: ... DF_STATIC_TLS Indicates that the object contains code using a static thread-local storage scheme. Static thread-local storage can not be used in objects that are dynamically loaded, either using dlopen(3C), or using lazy loading. Because of this restriction, the link-editor does not support the creation of a shared object that requires static thread-local storage. ... These guys have done a great job with the 'Linger & Libraries Guide' - do refer to it as often as you can. _Mike_ On Thu, 01 Nov 2007 02:27:29 PDT, verma <bhushan.verma at iap-online.com> wrote: > Hi ALl,] > > I have made one executable related to TLS. > When I do elfdump of this executable ,I see a flag "STATIC_TLS " in > dynamic section of executable. > #elfdump -d ./tls > ......... > [22] FLAGS 0x10 [ STATIC_TLS ] > ......... > > Could any one help me what is this flag , and what this indicate I mean > ,what is the use of this flag in case of rtld(ld.so.1). > Is this applicable to static TLS or Dynamic TLS or both. > > regards > Bhushan > > > This message posted from opensolaris.org > _______________________________________________ > tools-linking mailing list > tools-linking at opensolaris.org
