// achieve. Don't prematurely optimize, most likely you can just use a Lock.
//
// These classes implement a warpper around the platform's TLS storage
// mechanism. On construction, they will allocate a TLS slot, and free the
// TLS slot on destruction. No memory management (creation or destruction) is
// handled. This means for uses of ThreadLocalPointer, you must correctly
// manage the memory yourself, these classes will not destroy the pointer for
// you. There are no at-thread-exit actions taken by these classes.
//
// ThreadLocalPointer<Type> wraps a Type*. It performs no creation or
// destruction, so memory management must be handled elsewhere. The first call
// to Get() on a thread will return NULL. You can update the pointer with a
// call to Set().
//
// ThreadLocalBoolean wraps a bool. It will default to false if it has never
// been set otherwise with Set().
//
// Thread Safety: An instance of ThreadLocalStorage is completely thread safe
// once it has been created. If you want to dynamically create an instance,
// you must of course properly deal with safety and race conditions. This
// means a function-level static initializer is generally inappropiate.
//
// Example usage:
// // My class is logically attached to a single thread. We cache a pointer
// // on the thread it was created on, so we can implement current().
// MyClass::MyClass() {
// DCHECK(Singleton<ThreadLocalPointer<MyClass> >::get()->Get() == NULL);
// Singleton<ThreadLocalPointer<MyClass> >::get()->Set(this);
// }
//
// MyClass::~MyClass() {
// DCHECK(Singleton<ThreadLocalPointer<MyClass> >::get()->Get() != NULL);
// Singleton<ThreadLocalPointer<MyClass> >::get()->Set(NULL);
// }
//
// // Return the current MyClass associated with the calling thread, can be
// // NULL if there isn't a MyClass associated.
// MyClass* MyClass::current() {
// return Singleton<ThreadLocalPointer<MyClass> >::get()->Get();
// }
