Detailed Description

template<typename T>
class CS::Threading::ThreadLocal< T >

Thread local storage of arbitrary C++ objects.

Stores an arbitrary object in a TLS slot, automatically creating an instance and destroying it when the thread exits.

Remarks:
Actually, an object instance is allocated on the heap. For small objects (integral values, simple pointers) it may be more efficient to use ThreadLocalBase directly or to coalesce multiple such small objects into a larger struct which is then stored thread locally (instead of having multiple small TLS slots).
