I never quite understood why the gcov counters are not simply marked __thread. This would make the profiled programs faster too because they wouldn't bounce cache lines that much. Especially on larger systems (>2S) frequent cache line bouncing can lead to extreme slow downs, and even on smaller systems it's very expensive. This would also eliminate data races, except for signals and somesuch. -Andi
