Is there an FLS implementation floating around?
If not, it's probably something that should be considered for std.thread.

Maybe something like this: ---------------------------------- private struct FLSEntry { void** ptr; size_t start; immutable void[] initData; } private __gshared FLSEntry[] flsEntries; private __gshared size_t flsSize; void registerFLS(void** ptr, immutable void[] initData) { enum ALIGN = size_t.sizeof; auto size = (initData.length + ALIGN-1) % ALIGN; flsEntries ~= FLSEntry(ptr, flsSize, initData); flsSize += size; } // called by core.thread on fiber creation void initFLS(Fiber fiber) { fiber.fls = new void[flsSize]; void* p = fiber.fls.ptr; foreach (entry; flsEntries) with (entry) p[start..start+initData.length] = initData[]; } // called by core.thread when switching to a fiber void switchFLS(Fiber to) { void* p = to.fls.ptr; foreach (entry; flsEntries) *entry.ptr = p + entry.start; } struct FLS(T) { shared static this() { //registerFLS(&data, (&T.init)[0..1]); static immutable T init; registerFLS(cast(void**)&data, (&init)[0..1]); } static T* data; alias data this; } // *************************************** struct MyData { int i; } FLS!MyData fiberData; ---------------------------------- A linker segment would be better, but not sure how feasible that would be.

I'd also love to have one ! (in fact I do think it should be the default).

What do you mean by that, FLS instead of TLS and everything runs as Fiber?

Yes, with a scheduler int the runtime.

I don't think FLS can be as fast as TLS because the latter benefits from many optimizations due to linker and OS support.

Nice to see this asked. For a simulation library I was developing I was thinking that fiber support had to be done by asking the library user to swap a struct every time a fiber context-switched. If that could be automated then that would be great!

- There is WorkerLocalStorage in std.parallelism Tasks. - Apparently you can easily capture variables in the context of the delegate. - If you use thread affinity when executing Fibers you can access TLS.
