/GT (Support fiber-safe thread-local storage)
Supports fiber safety for data allocated using static thread-local storage, that is, data allocated with __declspec(thread).
Syntax
/GT
Remarks
Data declared with __declspec(thread) is referenced through a thread-local storage (TLS) array. The TLS array is an array of addresses that the system maintains for each thread. Each address in this array gives the location of thread-local storage data.
A fiber is a lightweight object that consists of a stack and a register context and can be scheduled on various threads. A fiber can run on any thread. Because a fiber may get swapped out and restarted later on a different thread, the compiler mustn't cache the address of the TLS array, or optimize it as a common subexpression across a function call. /GT prevents such optimizations.
To set this compiler option in the Visual Studio development environment
Open the project's Property Pages dialog box. For details, see Set C++ compiler and build properties in Visual Studio.
Select the Configuration Properties > C/C++ > Optimization property page.
Modify the Enable Fiber-safe Optimizations property.
