            Bug ID: 66034
           Summary: Enhancement request: fiber-local storage
           Product: gcc
           Version: 6.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: avi@cloudius-systems.com
  Target Milestone: ---

As a complement to __thread and thread_local, add __fiber storage class which
is local storage for user-level threads.  User-level threads is a common
technique in high performance storage, and compiler support would be
beneficial.

On x86_64, __fiber storage can be accessed via gs:, which can be set (on newer
processors) via set setgsbase instruction in userspace.

--- Comment #1 from Andrew Pinski <pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
C++20 adds coroutines which like fibers and already contains local storage
state.

https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/coroutines

So this is a won't fix.

C++ coroutines are allocated on the heap though.

https://wg21.link/p0876 is more relevant here, but not approved yet.

Yes, this is relevant to user-level threads, not coroutines.
