Martin v. Löwis <mar...@v.loewis.de> added the comment: Windows NT (3.1, and a number of later versions) only support 64 TLS keys. Starting with Windows 2000, they added another page per thread for TLS, giving an addition 1024 TLS slots, for a total of 1088 TLS slots. FWIW, Win 9.x supported 80 TLS slots. See
http://www.nynaeve.net/?p=181 http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms686749.aspx http://bugs.python.org/file11141/thread_nt.patch TLS slots are typically considered a scarce resource, so that programming language implementations typically don't allow applications direct allocation of TLS slots. Instead, most runtimes I know of will allocate a single TLS slot for themselves, which then is filled with an array or a dictionary. ---------- nosy: +loewis _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3582> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
