How to make a global constant thread local?

General Usage
1

To make my code thread-safe, I am making some constant thread local. However, in the following package example

module Foo

const bar = zeros(Threads.nthreads())

end

the length of bar will be stuck at JULIA_NUM_THREADS at the time of compilation.

What’s the correct way to make the constant bar thread local?

You can create an empty array (or array of whatever size) where you define bar and then resize! it in an __init__() method (see here: Modules · The Julia Language).
