This is a bug report for perl from sfandino@yahoo.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.34 running under perl
v5.8.0.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please enter your report here]

The MY_CXT family of macros to add local thread storage
to modules are designed to be used from a single object
(*.o) file.

i.e., imagine an extension module with two files file1.xs
and file2.xs, and that both modules need to access MY_CXT.

When the extension is compiled in a non-threaded perl,
MY_CXT gets defined as my_cxt, and my_cxt is

  "static my_cxt_t *my_cxt"

in file1.xs and so as it is "static" it is not accessible
from file2.c

To correct it, my_cxt should not be defined as static
anymore and a new macro has to be added to declare it
in other objects.

Bye,

- Salva
