At the bottom of the wiki page there is an innocent question regarding TLS which is quite devastating. A worker thread pool system would not support affinity between threads and callback context. Unfortunately, D relies on Thread Local Storage for semi global data. This would be error prone. I saw such error case with people using TLS with Corba.
You can declare global data with shared qualifier: int data; //TLS shared int data; //global On Thursday, 5 May 2016 at 08:28:36 UTC, chmike wrote:
I would like to add that the switchable TLS is only a half backed solution. It would't work in a multi core context where threads are truly executing in parallel. Two such threads might get the same TLS context which would invalidate its implicit predicate.
If TLS doesn't work, it's a bug in TLS implementation. I don't think such bug exists. AFAIK TLS works fine on multicore systems.
