Intel compiler support on C++11 concurrency

[salvatore_f_]

Hi,

I'm new of the Intel compiler. I'm interested about the support of the new C++11 by the Intel compiler and in particular on concurrency features. I read here http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/c0x-features-supported-by-intel-c-compiler that the latest version has complete support of atomic operations and partial support of thread-local storage. What are the limitation on using the thread-local storage?

Thank you
Salvatore

Hi Salvatore, >>... >>What are the limitation on using the thread-local storage? You can review a list of some limitations for TLS on MSDN: C Language Reference Topic: Thread Local Storage ( TLS )

We only have partial tls support because the standard requires support for dynamic initialization and destruction of thread-local variables, which no compiler has yet implemented. We also don’t support the exact keyword that the standard requires (the standard says the keyword is “thread_local” but we only support “__thread”).
