Everything which is not part of glibc is third-party. It's the same as if some program would require access to internal data structures of libGL. There are several different layouts of the thread descriptor and it's only getting worse. The actual layout doesn't matter since everything is internal to glibc and the other libraries which come with it so this is no problem. Beside, I don't understand why you react like this. Using __thread is the best you can ever get. It'll be portable (Solaris 9 already has the support as well) and it's faster than anything you can get to access the data. -- ---------------. ,-. 1325 Chesapeake Terrace Ulrich Drepper \ ,-------------------' \ Sunnyvale, CA 94089 USA Red Hat `--' drepper at redhat.com `------------------------
