- *  There are platforms for which TLS should not be used even though the
- * compiler makes it seem like it's supported (Android NDK < r12b for example).
- * This is primarily because of linker problems and toolchain misconfiguration:
- * TLS isn't supported until NDK r12b per
- * https://developer.android.com/ndk/downloads/revision_history.html
- * TLS also does not work with Android NDK if GCC is being used as the compiler
- * instead of Clang.
- * Since NDK r16, `__NDK_MAJOR__` and `__NDK_MINOR__` are defined in
- * <android/ndk-version.h>. For NDK < r16, users should define these macros,
- * e.g. `-D__NDK_MAJOR__=11 -D__NKD_MINOR__=0` for NDK r11. */
