Most initialization of locales and facets happens before main() during
startup, when the program is likely to only have one thread. By using
the new __gnu_cxx::__is_single_threaded() function instead of checking
__gthread_active_p() we can avoid using pthread_once or atomics for the
common case.
That said, I'm not sure why we don't just use a local static variable
instead, as __cxa_guard_acquire() already optimizes for the
single-threaded case:
static const bool init = (_S_initialize_once(), true);
I'll revisit that for GCC 12.
libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog:
* src/c++98/locale.cc (locale::facet::_S_get_c_locale())
(locale::id::_M_id() const): Use __is_single_threaded.
* src/c++98/locale_init.cc (locale::_S_initialize()):
Likewise.
