Hi all, Apologies if this has already been answered before. I am experimenting with thread-local variables. I was wondering if it is possible to make gcc force a specific TLS access model for some TLS variables. For example, let's say we have an ELF executable that defines and accesses a TLS variable. From gcc's man page, I read that, in this case, gcc will use the initial-exec TLS model by default. My question is if we can change that and, say, use the global-dynamic model. To this end, I have tried the `-ftls-model=global-dynamic` option and the `tls_model` gcc variable attribute. None of these worked. So, my question is: In this particular example, can we force gcc to use the global-dynamic instead of the initial-exec TLS model? And, in general, can we force gcc to use global-dynamic for all accesses to thread-local variables? Thanks, Nikos
