#3847: Unable to statically link thread lib on ia64.

 Reporter:  tomasz.wilk@…          |       Owner:  anthonyw
     Type:  Bugs                   |      Status:  new     
Milestone:  Boost 1.42.0           |   Component:  thread  
  Version:  Boost 1.41.0           |    Severity:  Problem 
 Keywords:  thread ia64 _tls_used  |  
-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------
 An attempt to statically link thread library on Itanium (ia64) platform
 generates the following error:

 libboost_thread-vc100-mt-gd-1_41.lib(tss_pe.obj) : error LNK2003: gp
 relative fixup to symbol not in short data section '_tls_used'
 LINK : fatal error LNK1165: link failed because of fixup errors

 I was able to verify this issue using boost 1.37 with vc8 compiler as well
 as boost 1.41 with vc10 beta2

 The workaround is to force dynamic linking using


 {{{
 #define BOOST_THREAD_DYN_DLL
 }}}


 which is not always acceptable.

 Here is a sample program:


 {{{
 #include<stdio.h>

 //#define BOOST_THREAD_DYN_DLL
 #include<boost/thread.hpp>

 void threadBody()
 {
         printf("hello from thread");
         boost::this_thread::sleep(boost::posix_time::seconds(5));
 }

 int main(void)
 {
         printf("Hello world!");

         boost::thread myThread(threadBody);
         myThread.join();

         return 0;
 }
 }}}
