Hi Ulrich and community members,

Thank you for your feedback.

Thanks for letting me know this. I have implemented it in two patches and sent the same.


v1-0002-Add-TLS-support-for-shared-libraries-in-AIX.patch

v2-0001-Add-TLS-variable-debug-support-for-AIX-64-bit-XCO.patch

Where

v2-0001-Add-TLS-variable-debug-support-for-AIX-64-bit-XCO.patch  - Now just blocks shared library thread local variable computation


v1-0002-Add-TLS-support-for-shared-libraries-in-AIX.patch - Where we compute thread local variable for shared library.


Let me know what you think and kindly give me feedback for the same.


Have a nice day.


Thanks and regards,

Aditya.
