11 //! OS-based thread local storage
13 //! This module provides an implementation of OS-based thread local storage,
14 //! using the native OS-provided facilities (think `TlsAlloc` or
15 //! `pthread_setspecific`). The interface of this differs from the other types
16 //! of thread-local-storage provided in this crate in that OS-based TLS can only
19 //! This module also provides two flavors of TLS. One is intended for static
20 //! initialization, and does not contain a `Drop` implementation to deallocate
21 //! the OS-TLS key. The other is a type which does implement `Drop` and hence
22 //! has a safe interface.
26 //! This module should likely not be used directly unless other primitives are
27 //! being built on. types such as `thread_local::spawn::Key` are likely much
28 //! more useful in practice than this OS-based version which likely requires
29 //! unsafe code to interoperate with.
33 //! Using a dynamically allocated TLS key. Note that this key can be shared
34 //! among many threads via an `Arc`.
37 //! let key = Key::new(None);
38 //! assert!(key.get().is_null());
39 //! key.set(1 as *mut u8);
40 //! assert!(!key.get().is_null());
42 //! drop(key); // deallocate this TLS slot.
45 //! Sometimes a statically allocated key is either required or easier to work
49 //! static KEY: StaticKey = INIT;
52 //! assert!(KEY.get().is_null());
53 //! KEY.set(1 as *mut u8);
