Through a series of unfortunate events (starting with an infinite loop
in an obscure Java test) I seem to have inherited the async-safe TLS
problem.
>From what I can tell, there has not been much discussion following the
patch reversion during 2.19's release process, aside from the proposal
for a thread properties API:
https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-04/msg00313.html
So where are things at now? From the extant discussion, I gather that
there were some fundamental philosophical differences, and not even
much meta-consensus on what consensus might look like. :-) Has
anybody spent any time since then, thinking about this?
If there are not any near-term prospects for agreement, I can fall
back to fixing the immediate bugs in the Google-local patch, ugh.
