19 /// A thread local storage key which owns its contents.
21 /// This key uses the fastest possible implementation available to it for the
22 /// target platform. It is instantiated with the [`thread_local!`] macro and the
23 /// primary method is the [`with`] method.
25 /// The [`with`] method yields a reference to the contained value which cannot be
26 /// sent across threads or escape the given closure.
28 /// # Initialization and Destruction
30 /// Initialization is dynamically performed on the first call to [`with`]
31 /// within a thread, and values that implement [`Drop`] get destructed when a
32 /// thread exits. Some caveats apply, which are explained below.
37 /// use std::cell::RefCell;
40 /// thread_local!(static FOO: RefCell<u32> = RefCell::new(1));
43 /// assert_eq!(*f.borrow(), 1);
44 /// *f.borrow_mut() = 2;
47 /// // each thread starts out with the initial value of 1
48 /// thread::spawn(move|| {
50 /// assert_eq!(*f.borrow(), 1);
51 /// *f.borrow_mut() = 3;
55 /// // we retain our original value of 2 despite the child thread
57 /// assert_eq!(*f.borrow(), 2);
61 /// # Platform-specific behavior
63 /// Note that a "best effort" is made to ensure that destructors for types
64 /// stored in thread local storage are run, but not all platforms can guarantee
65 /// that destructors will be run for all types in thread local storage. For
66 /// example, there are a number of known caveats where destructors are not run:
68 /// 1. On Unix systems when pthread-based TLS is being used, destructors will
69 /// not be run for TLS values on the main thread when it exits. Note that the
70 /// application will exit immediately after the main thread exits as well.
71 /// 2. On all platforms it's possible for TLS to re-initialize other TLS slots
72 /// during destruction. Some platforms ensure that this cannot happen
73 /// infinitely by preventing re-initialization of any slot that has been
74 /// destroyed, but not all platforms have this guard. Those platforms that do
75 /// not guard typically have a synthetic limit after which point no more
76 /// destructors are run.
77 /// 3. On macOS, initializing TLS during destruction of other TLS slots can
78 /// sometimes cancel *all* destructors for the current thread, whether or not
79 /// the slots have already had their destructors run or not.
