Ok, so here is my point of view:
- we allow mixing swapcontext and pthread in a way that procude a bug
- we have _UC_TLSBASE on most ports that allow doing it without the bug
- I propose adding _UC_TLSBASE for ports that miss it
Are you really going to oppose making a MD feature available on all
ports with the same interface because you dislike it being used? We are
not going to make the glusterfs guys rewriting their code, they seems to
be happy with it. If my patch is rejected, I will have contribute a
change to glusterfs like below. That looks like a shameful mess.
