Worth trying just WTFMoving if the destination is clear. Or letting the bigger buffer win.

I’m not sure that this placement new thing is the canonical way to initialize a thread specific?

Made that change and it appears to improve performance.

Copied this from a similar recent patch.

Speculative fix for the JSC i386 build failure.

Committed r262362: <https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/262362>

Maybe clear it out on VM destruction?

What about the case when a GC finishes linking some code. What thread is that done on? Maybe we should have a way of clearing that out too.

LGTM too, but I believe you're currently leaking these for web workers. I wonder if we should just say VM destruction releases this data too.

nit: I would've used a reference instead of rvalue reference here, since it's not always being moved out of.

Yeah this is how I did it recently. This seemed like a reasonable way to me to initialize non PODs, but am curious if you think there is a better way?

It puts it into the GC's thread.  I really want it to go back to the original thread's cache, but felt the locking and "owning" thread logic could slow things down.

So the answer here is just to do operator* or operator->

I'm super off base here. We already automatically call ctor and dtor of T in ThreadSpecific<T>. No need for this cleanup code I'm proposing.

Will fix.

Can we clear on low memory warning too?

Oh, I see: Only the compiler threads use this, and they clear right away when done compiling. Probably not profitable to clear in the middle of compiling.
