Hi All. A question about threads from the XS-embedding-module perspective: What is the difference between MY_CXT and PL_modglobal? I have implemented C running Perl module that embed a C XS function, and want to pass a pointer to that function from the C code that runs Perl. The Perl side span multiple threads, and each call that C function. Until now I used PL_modglobal, as I thought that it is per-interpreter hash that can be used safely from different threads. After a few crashes, I'm not so sure. So, what is the difference between MY_CXT and PL_modglobal? not in the global scope that one have while the other is local, but from threads safety question. Thanks, Shmuel.
