167 	 * Given:
168 	 *
169 	 * 1: Applications are not required to clear keys in all
170 	 *    threads before calling pthread_key_delete().
171 	 * 2: Clearing pointers without running destructors is a
172 	 *    memory leak.
173 	 * 3: The pthread_key_delete() function is expressly forbidden
174 	 *    to run any destructors.
175 	 *
176 	 * Option 1: Make this function effectively a no-op and
177 	 * prohibit key reuse. This is a possible resource-exhaustion
178 	 * problem given that we have a static storage area for keys,
179 	 * but having a non-static storage area would make
180 	 * pthread_setspecific() expensive (might need to realloc the
181 	 * TSD array).
182 	 *
183 	 * Option 2: Ignore the specified behavior of
184 	 * pthread_key_create() and leave the old values. If an
185 	 * application deletes a key that still has non-NULL values in
186 	 * some threads... it's probably a memory leak and hence
187 	 * incorrect anyway, and we're within our rights to let the
188 	 * application lose. However, it's possible (if unlikely) that
189 	 * the application is storing pointers to non-heap data, or
190 	 * non-pointers that have been wedged into a void pointer, so
191 	 * we can't entirely write off such applications as incorrect.
192 	 * This could also lead to running (new) destructors on old
193 	 * data that was never supposed to be associated with that
194 	 * destructor.
195 	 *
196 	 * Option 3: Follow the specified behavior of
197 	 * pthread_key_create().  Either pthread_key_create() or
198 	 * pthread_key_delete() would then have to clear the values in
199 	 * every thread's slot for that key. In order to guarantee the
200 	 * visibility of the NULL value in other threads, there would
201 	 * have to be synchronization operations in both the clearer
202 	 * and pthread_getspecific().  Putting synchronization in
203 	 * pthread_getspecific() is a big performance lose.  But in
204 	 * reality, only (buggy) reuse of an old key would require
205 	 * this synchronization; for a new key, there has to be a
206 	 * memory-visibility propagating event between the call to
207 	 * pthread_key_create() and pthread_getspecific() with that
208 	 * key, so setting the entries to NULL without synchronization
209 	 * will work, subject to problem (2) above. However, it's kind
210 	 * of slow.
211 	 *
212 	 * Note that the argument in option 3 only applies because we
213 	 * keep TSD in ordinary memory which follows the pthreads
214 	 * visibility rules. The visibility rules are not required by
215 	 * the standard to apply to TSD, so the argument doesn't
216 	 * apply in general, just to this implementation.

222 	 * pointer to NULL. Finally we unthread the entry, freeing it for
223 	 * further use.
224 	 *
225 	 * We don't call the destructor here, it is the responsibility
226 	 * of the application to cleanup the storage:
