TlsFree
The TlsFree
function releases a thread local storage (TLS) index, making it available for
reuse.
BOOL TlsFree(
|
DWORD dwTlsIndex |
// TLS index to
free |
|
); |
|
Parameters
dwTlsIndex
Specifies a
TLS index that was allocated by the TlsAlloc function.
Return Values
If the
function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.
If the
function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information,
call GetLastError.
Remarks
If the
threads of the process have allocated dynamic storage and used the TLS index to
store pointers to this storage, they should free the storage before calling TlsFree.
The TlsFree function does not free any dynamic storage that has been
associated with the TLS index. It is expected that DLLs call this function (if
at all) only during their process detach routine.
For a brief
discussion of typical uses of the TLS functions, see the Remarks section of the
TlsAlloc function.
