Respected community members,

Hi,

Please find attached the patch. (See: 0001-Fix-AIX-build-break.patch).

Thank you for your patience and feedback.

This patch now fixes the AIX build break and uses the idea as suggested by Tom in this link (https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commitdiff;h=fece451c2aca57b095e7e4063e342781cf74aa75).

Kindly give me feedback for the same. I removed the extern thread_local and use class now.

Also, is there any guidelines for naming classes? Kindly let me know.

I am also curious to know if GDB is multi-threaded now?

Have a nice day ahead.

Thanks and regards,
Aditya.

That would by fine with me.

Does the AIX build detect that threads work?  If not then we could
perhaps make the use of 'thread_local' dependent on CXX_STD_THREAD.
