I think I did it "defensively" when debugging problems in the sagemath package, as newer pari uses a lot of tls variables, e.g. $ grep -r __thread . ./src/headers/parisys.h:# define THREAD __thread $ grep -r THREAD . | wc -l 84 and it has things like __thread static variables in functions, several global variables, etc. But at least in pari 2.5.1 it is disabled by default. > -- > Jerry James > http://www.jamezone.org/ Paulo _______________________________________________ scitech mailing list scitech@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/scitech
