            Bug ID: 238485
           Summary: Failed to read TLS variables for -static -lpthread
                    executables
           Product: Base System
           Version: 12.0-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: threads
          Assignee: threads at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: rajendra.sy at gmail.com

On any platform build test app as below & print a TLS variable to see the error
message.

$ clang -static -g -o tls src/tls.c -lpthread

******
On Linux: debuggers use these below 2 API's from "thread_db.h" to fetch TLS var
address.
1. For executables with shared libs: td_thr_tls_get_addr()
2. For executables with static libs: td_thr_tlsbase()

On FreeBSD, I see only td_thr_tls_get_addr() API.

Is possible to add td_thr_tlsbase() API?
Or 
How to get TLS variable address without td_thr_tlsbase() API from a static
executable?

Here is the tls.c code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <pthread.h>
#include <unistd.h>

#define MAX_THREADS 5
int __thread foo;
int __thread boo;
void* start_thread(void *in) {
    foo = (*(int *)in)+47824; // 0xbad_
    boo = (*(int *)in)+51888; // 0xcab_
    printf("foo is 0x%x boo is 0x%x thread sleeping for 5 seconds\n", foo,
boo);
    while (1) {
        sleep(5);
        break;
    }
    return NULL;
}

int main(void) {
    pthread_t threads[MAX_THREADS];
    int i;
    static int count[MAX_THREADS];
    for (i=0; i<MAX_THREADS; i++) {
        count[i] = i + 1;
        pthread_create(&threads[i], NULL, start_thread, (void *)&count[i]);
    }
    for (i=0; i<MAX_THREADS; i++) {
        pthread_join(threads[i], NULL);
    }
    return 0;
}
