60 THREAD_INFO_TYPE is a way to make the mono-threads module parametric - or sort of.
61 The GC using mono-threads might extend the MonoThreadInfo struct to add its own
62 data, this avoid a pointer indirection on what is on a lot of hot paths.
64 But extending MonoThreadInfo has de disavantage that all functions here return type
65 would require a cast, something like the following:
67 typedef struct {
68 MonoThreadInfo info;
69 int stuff;
70 } MyThreadInfo;
72 ...
73 ((MyThreadInfo*)mono_thread_info_current ())->stuff = 1;
75 While porting sgen to use mono-threads, the number of casts required was too much and
76 code ended up looking horrible. So we use this cute little hack. The idea is that
77 whomever is including this header can set the expected type to be used by functions here
78 and reduce the number of casts drastically.
