Thread local storage and PowerPC

Project Infrastructure LLVM Dev List Archives
#1

Hi all friends of PowerPC!

My last gripe hindering me calling out "VICTORY!" on my
large PPC embedded project is thread level storage not
being implemented in the backend. I have filed this bug:

  http://llvm.org/PR12593

I wonder whether there is some fundamental obstacle
(compared to the x86 backend, where this feature seems
to work), or is it just "simple matter of programming"?

Maybe I just need some orientation and can implement this
myself... Any feedback is appreciated.

Cheers and thanks,

    Gabor

Gabor,

These is some programming necessary, but just a few days ago, someone
sent me a patch half-implementing this, so it is definitely being
worked on.

Since it sounds like you're volunteering to help, I'll contact you
off-list.
