//! Thread local storage
//!
//! This module provides an implementation of thread local storage for Rust
//! programs. Thread local storage is a method of storing data into a global
//! variable which each thread in the program will have its own copy of.
//! Threads do not share this data, so accesses do not need to be synchronized.
//!
//! At a high level, this module provides two variants of storage:
//!
//! * Owning thread local storage. This is a type of thread local key which
//!   owns the value that it contains, and will destroy the value when the
//!   thread exits. This variant is created with the `thread_local!` macro and
//!   can contain any value which is `'static` (no borrowed pointers.
//!
//! * Scoped thread local storage. This type of key is used to store a reference
//!   to a value into local storage temporarily for the scope of a function
//!   call. There are no restrictions on what types of values can be placed
//!   into this key.
//!
//! Both forms of thread local storage provide an accessor function, `with`,
//! which will yield a shared reference to the value to the specified
//! closure. Thread local keys only allow shared access to values as there is no
//! way to guarantee uniqueness if a mutable borrow was allowed. Most values
//! will want to make use of some form of **interior mutability** through the
//! `Cell` or `RefCell` types.

/// A thread local storage key which owns its contents.
///
/// This key uses the fastest possible implementation available to it for the
/// target platform. It is instantiated with the `thread_local!` macro and the
/// primary method is the `with` method.
///
/// The `with` method yields a reference to the contained value which cannot be
/// sent across tasks or escape the given closure.
///
/// # Initialization and Destruction
///
/// Initialization is dynamically performed on the first call to `with()`
/// within a thread, and values support destructors which will be run when a
/// thread exits.
///
/// # Example
///
/// ```
/// use std::cell::RefCell;
///
/// thread_local!(static FOO: RefCell<uint> = RefCell::new(1));
///
/// FOO.with(|f| {
///     assert_eq!(*f.borrow(), 1);
///     *f.borrow_mut() = 2;
/// });
///
/// // each thread starts out with the initial value of 1
/// spawn(proc() {
///     FOO.with(|f| {
///         assert_eq!(*f.borrow(), 1);
///         *f.borrow_mut() = 3;
///     });
/// });
///
/// // we retain our original value of 2 despite the child thread
/// FOO.with(|f| {
///     assert_eq!(*f.borrow(), 2);
/// });

// Macro pain #4586:
//
// When cross compiling, rustc will load plugins and macros from the *host*
// platform before search for macros from the target platform. This is primarily
// done to detect, for example, plugins. Ideally the macro below would be
// defined once per module below, but unfortunately this means we have the
// following situation:
//
// 1. We compile libstd for x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, this thread_local!() macro
//    will inject #[thread_local] statics.
// 2. We then try to compile a program for arm-linux-androideabi
// 3. The compiler has a host of linux and a target of android, so it loads
//    macros from the *linux* libstd.
// 4. The macro generates a #[thread_local] field, but the android libstd does
//    not use #[thread_local]
// 5. Compile error about structs with wrong fields.
//
// To get around this, we're forced to inject the #[cfg] logic into the macro
// itself. Woohoo.
