// A simple cross platform thread local storage implementation.
//
// This is a drop-in replacement of __thread keyword. If your compiler
// toolchain supports __thread keyword, the user of this code should
// be as fast as the code which uses __thread. Chrome's
// base::ThreadLocalPointer and base::ThreadLocalStorage cannot be as
// fast as __thread.
// TODO(crbug.com/249345): If pthread_getspecific is slow for our use,
// expose bionic's internal TLS and stop using pthread_getspecific
// based implementation.
//
// Usage:
//
// Before (linux):
//
// __thread Foo* foo;
// foo = new Foo();
// foo->func();
//
//
// After:
//
// DEFINE_THREAD_LOCAL(Foo*, foo);
// foo.Ref() = new Foo();
// foo.Ref()->func();
//
// Thread local PODs are zero-initialized.
// Thread local non-PODs are initialized with the default constructor.
