I actually did. I had all accesses to the values wrapped in macros,
then add a pointer, and have them, on demand, point to one single
variable in the thread group struct.

You'll probably come up with the same method. Have fun!

I don't understand the problem. This extensions just provide a way to
access the behavior which has been in use forever. Whenever I brought
the setXid topic up some people said "why multi-threaded program needs
the existing behavior". These extensions are honestly as well defined
(or better) than the POSIX mandated behavior and they are necessary for
people who actually want the behavior (at least for migration purposes).
I see no problem at all. If another OS does not provide the
functionality the functions can fail.
