Portability Primitives

This is the portability layer where all primitives needed from the OS are defined.

  • include/mimalloc/prim.h: primitive portability API definition.

  • prim.c: Selects one of unix/prim.c, wasi/prim.c, or windows/prim.c depending on the host platform (and on macOS, osx/prim.c defers to unix/prim.c).

  • include/mimalloc/prim-tls.h: primitive TLS model (thread local, pthreads, etc)

  • prim-tls.c: TLS model implementation

Note: still work in progress, there may still be places in the sources that still depend on OS ifdef's.
