 *  SYNOPSIS
 *    sudo ./008intro-self-variables.d
 *
 *  DESCRIPTION
 *    In D, we can also have variables that are local to a thread.
 *    We preface them with "self->".
 */

/*
 * We look for a write() return probe on the same thread where
 * self->exp has been set.  Using thread-local variables allows
 * us to connect two probes for the same thread, without interference
 * from other threads.
