I've implemented native TLS in DMD on OS X for 64bit. Now the
question is, does it need to work for 32bit as well?
The easiest would be to drop the 32bit support all together.
Other options would be to continue to use emulate TLS on 32bit
or implement native TLS for 32bit as well. I would prefer to
not have to do this for 32bit as well.
As far as I know we haven't released a 32bit binary of DMD for
a very long time. It would be very rare to find a Mac that
cannot run 64bit binaries.
Native TLS on OS X would mean that the runtime requirements for
the binaries produced by DMD on OS X would be OS X 10.7 (Lion)
or later. Hopefully that should not be a problem since it's
several years (and versions) old.
Thanks! Only 64 bits
