5 // WARNING: Thread local storage is a bit tricky to get right.  Please make
6 // sure that this is really the proper solution for what you're trying to
7 // achieve.  Don't prematurely optimize, most likely you can just use a Lock.
8 //
9 // These classes implement a warpper around the platform's TLS storage
10 // mechanism.  On construction, they will allocate a TLS slot, and free the
11 // TLS slot on destruction.  No memory management (creation or destruction) is
12 // handled.  This means for uses of ThreadLocalPointer, you must correctly
13 // manage the memory yourself, these classes will not destroy the pointer for
14 // you.  There are no at-thread-exit actions taken by these classes.
15 //
16 // ThreadLocalPointer<Type> wraps a Type*.  It performs no creation or
17 // destruction, so memory management must be handled elsewhere.  The first call
18 // to Get() on a thread will return NULL.  You can update the pointer with a
19 // call to Set().
20 //
21 // ThreadLocalBoolean wraps a bool.  It will default to false if it has never
22 // been set otherwise with Set().
23 //
24 // Thread Safety:  An instance of ThreadLocalStorage is completely thread safe
25 // once it has been created.  If you want to dynamically create an instance,
26 // you must of course properly deal with safety and race conditions.  This
27 // means a function-level static initializer is generally inappropiate.
28 //
29 // Example usage:
30 //   // My class is logically attached to a single thread.  We cache a pointer
31 //   // on the thread it was created on, so we can implement current().
32 //   MyClass::MyClass() {
33 //     DCHECK(Singleton<ThreadLocalPointer<MyClass> >::get()->Get() == NULL);
34 //     Singleton<ThreadLocalPointer<MyClass> >::get()->Set(this);
35 //   }
36 //
37 //   MyClass::~MyClass() {
38 //     DCHECK(Singleton<ThreadLocalPointer<MyClass> >::get()->Get() != NULL);
39 //     Singleton<ThreadLocalPointer<MyClass> >::get()->Set(NULL);
40 //   }
41 //
42 //   // Return the current MyClass associated with the calling thread, can be
43 //   // NULL if there isn't a MyClass associated.
44 //   MyClass* MyClass::current() {
45 //     return Singleton<ThreadLocalPointer<MyClass> >::get()->Get();
46 //   }
