[gnutls-devel] GnuTLS | Thread local storages not free'd until application exits (#824)

[Development of GNU's TLS library]

Dave Craig created an issue:


  When random.c moved to using thread local storage it started allocating storage whenever gnutls_rnd was called on a new thread. It keeps track of these allocations in a list so that when the application exits it can free them all up. Hopwever, if an application calls gnutls_rnd on a different thread each time (e.g. HLS over HTTPS with GStreamer) then memory is eaten up at a few hundred bytes per call, and is only recovered when the application ends.
I've reverted random.c for now, as my posix_ TLS based patch was too ugly. Using the tss_xxx functions for those with C11 should resolve this in a straightfoward way.
