With a quick perusal of the LuaJIT source, this is the only instance of
TLS I see:
#if LJ_UNWIND_EXT
#if LJ_TARGET_OSX || defined(__OpenBSD__)
/* Sorry, no thread safety for OSX. Complain to Apple, not me. */
static _Unwind_Exception static_uex;
#else
static __thread _Unwind_Exception static_uex;
#endif
Convince it to use the same exception as OS X and OpenBSD and you should
be in business.
"Complain to Apple, not me" is an odd way to say "I am too lazy to use
standard interfaces." TLS has come up on the IRC chat, but I don't
recall what the conclusions were regarding future implementation or not.
With valediction,
