Detailed Description

This group contains the implementation to support thread-local storage (TLS).

Variants I and II are according to Ulrich Drepper, "ELF Handling For Thread-Local Storage".

Function Documentation

_TLS_Get_allocation_size()

uintptr_t _TLS_Get_allocation_size

(

void

)

Gets the allocation size of the thread-local storage area in bytes.

Returns

Returns the allocation size of the thread-local storage area in bytes.

Variable Documentation

_TLS_Configuration

const volatile TLS_Configuration _TLS_Configuration

extern

Provides the TLS configuration.

Directly using symbols with an arbitrary absolute address such as _TLS_Alignment may not work with all code models (for example the AArch64 tiny and small code models). Store the addresses in a read-only object. Using the volatile qualifier ensures that the compiler actually loads the address from the object.
