Detailed Description


Define Documentation

#define thread_local

Thread local storage keyword.

A variable that is declared with the thread_local keyword makes the value of the variable local to each thread (known as thread-local storage, or TLS). Example usage:

 // This variable is local to each thread.
 thread_local int variable;
Note:
The thread_local keyword is a macro that maps to the corresponding compiler directive (e.g. __declspec(thread)). While the C++0x standard allows for non-trivial types (e.g. classes with constructors and destructors) to be declared with the thread_local keyword, most pre-C++0x compilers only allow for trivial types (e.g. int). So, to guarantee portable code, only use trivial types for thread local storage.
This directive is currently not supported on Mac OS X (it will give a compiler error), since compile-time TLS is not supported in the Mac OS X executable format. Also, some older versions of MinGW (before GCC 4.x) do not support this directive.
