Research on crossplatform thread local storage solutions

Windows

• implicit_dll allocates tread storage, manages thread data
• explicit_dll links against implicit_dll, uses it to store and retrieve thread specific data
• bin.exe links against implicit_dll, loads explicit_dll per LoadLibrary

Additionally, explicit_dll uses a DLL wide variable declared with __declspec(thread). That variable is defined in one file and used as extern in another one.
