You've just proven my point. Thread specific. Being Thread specific, it
is data that is reserved to the scope of a single thread. Nothing more.
If you want more scope there are many more usages of memory that
are better utilized.
I'm not arguing against automatic variables. I'm arguing against using
automatic variables anywhere but the scope of stack in which they are
defined.
I don't know where you're getting religiousness, but, there's nothing
wrong with trying to do the best for all of your users. That's why
companies research their target audience, so they can improve a
product according to the most global needs of a given group.
