Can you clarify? Bad wording. The compiler does not generate any thread-local access sequences when it should. The compiler seems to ignore the __thread keyword and pretend the variable is global. That's pretty much the same kind of support as on sparc64, except that on sparc64 the compiler emits an error for __thread. So, on alpha the compiler needs to be enhanced to emit thread-local access sequences. I'll make the page more clear. -- Marcel Moolenaar USPA: A-39004 marcel_at_xcllnt.netReceived on Wed Feb 25 2004 - 11:12:25 UTC
