The obvious question from this approach is how to deal with *multiple* libraries in one app. For example, what happens when a single Python application wishes to use Boost *and* xpcom, and both attempt their bootstrap prelude, each providing a TLS implementation?
I would advise to follow Tim's strategy: Make TLS part of the thread_* files, accept that on some threading configuration, there won't be TLS until somebody implements it, and make TLS usage part of the core instead of part of the extension module. I doubt any of the potential TLS providers supports more than Win32 or pthreads. Regards, Martin
