Win32 Thread-Local Storage

This page demonstrates the functionality of thread-local storage in Windows.

Thread-local storage allows each thread to have its own isolated copy of a value. This prevents data races and ensures that each thread works on its own independent version of the data. It's a key feature for improving performance and thread safety in applications.

Key Concepts

Each thread has its own private copy of a value.
Thread safety: Ensures data consistency across threads.
Used for data isolation and concurrency control.

Implementation Details

The underlying implementation involves creating a unique identifier for each thread and storing the value associated with that identifier. The operating system handles the thread-local storage.
