From 187dd78d7bd1c03fcf16e54a30314512d38e1a4a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Andersen Date: Thu, 27 Feb 2003 18:13:05 +0000 Subject: Major update for pthreads, based in large part on improvements from glibc 2.3. This should make threads much more efficient. -Erik --- libpthread/linuxthreads/sysdeps/pthread/tls.h | 81 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 81 insertions(+) create mode 100644 libpthread/linuxthreads/sysdeps/pthread/tls.h (limited to 'libpthread/linuxthreads/sysdeps/pthread/tls.h') diff --git a/libpthread/linuxthreads/sysdeps/pthread/tls.h b/libpthread/linuxthreads/sysdeps/pthread/tls.h new file mode 100644 index 000000000..6a23ec05e --- /dev/null +++ b/libpthread/linuxthreads/sysdeps/pthread/tls.h @@ -0,0 +1,81 @@ +/* Definition for thread-local data handling.
