sorry, I red just the last post.

__gshared has no influence on this.

cmds is a thread local variable referencing the shared AA. But if 
you add new elements to cmds, cmd will be reallocated and the 
shared AA will remain unchanged. Though, updated values of 
existing keys will be visible in the original, because no 
relocation takes place.

If you want to change the original you need a pointer or a 
reference (for a setter function).

auto cmds = &CONFIG.commands;
(*cmds)["list"] = new Command(...);
