Looking at a *.core did not go well for my context:

# cc -g -O2 tls_gdb_test.c=20
tls_gdb_test.c:16:2: warning: indirection of non-volatile null pointer =
will be deleted, not trap [-Wnull-dereference]
        *(char *)NULL =3D 1;

Trying running under the gdb variant got stuck with gdb looping =
indefinately:

70322 root          1 103    0    30M    20M    0 CPU2     2   3:12 =

That was for:

GNU gdb (GDB) 8.2.50.20190115-git
Copyright (C) 2019 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
. . .

But I was able to ^C to get back to a (gdb) prompt and:

(gdb) p id
Cannot find thread-local storage for LWP 100111 of process 70323, =
executable file /root/c_tests/a.out:

av=3D<optimized out>) at tls_gdb_test.c:16

So it looks to me to not be working with system-clang based compiles of =
the example
test from the original E-mail.

But, looking around and using stepi ( with display/i $pc ) the code is =
trying a trap instruction
over and over:

I do not know if my context being a head -r341836 variant might =
contribute
(too old?).

I may try some fairly modern gcc* variant(s) instead to see if that =
makes a difference.

For reference: the compile of the test was based on using -g -O2 .
