> From MSDN:
> {noformat}
> The Visual C++ compiler supports a syntax that enables you to declare
> thread-local variables:
> _declspec(thread). If you use this syntax in a DLL, you will not be able to
> load the DLL
> explicitly using LoadLibrary on versions of Windows prior to Windows Vista.
> If your DLL will be
> loaded explicitly, you must use the thread local storage functions instead of
> _declspec(thread).
> {noformat}
> Personally, I've got the Access Violation Exception during performing
> Boost.Python regression tests, since python.exe process loading the DLL using
> LoadLibrary() function.
> Since the user could make own DLL, linked against stdcxx statically or
> dynamically, and load this DLL using LoadLibrary() function, we should not
> use the implicit TLS in stdcxx library to avoid such problems. If we want use
> thread local variables in stdcxx, we should use
> TlsAlloc()/TlsFree()/TlsGetValue()/TlsSetValue() functions on Windows.
