I do not know details for MinGW TLS but it's possible that it will be imporved yet in the future, f.e. now thay can use simple function call like in BCC. Anyhow in current SVN code the cost of TLS is quite efficient hidden by HB_STACK_PRELOAD. Just try to remove: #define HB_STACK_PRELOAD fro the beginning of estack.c and hvm.c and rebuild Harbour without HB_USE_TLS. Then compare the results. If they will be the same then probably current MinGW version simply calls TlsGetValue() for native TLS access so it the same as calling this function by us. best regards, Przemek _______________________________________________ Harbour mailing list Harbour@harbour-project.org http://lists.harbour-project.org/mailman/listinfo/harbour
