__declspec( thread ) declarator
Thread Local Storage (TLS) is the method by which each thread in a given multithreaded process allocates storage for thread-specific data.
The thread extended storage-class modifier is used to declare a thread local variable. The thread attribute must be used with the __declspec keyword.
The use of __declspec(thread) may interfere with delay loading of DLL imports.
For related information, see __declspec.
Example
The following code declares an integer thread local variable and initializes it with a value:
// Example of the thread attribute
__declspec( thread ) int tls_i = 1; See Also Thread Local Storage (TLS)
