In the unix world using pthreads, when you allocate
thread-local storage, you specify a callback function
to delete the storage when the thread terminates.
This callback is the second argument to
pthread_key_create(), See, for example,
http://www.mkssoftware.com/docs/man3/pthread_key_create.3.asp
Question: How do you do the same thing on windows?
How do you get a thread to clean up its thread-local-storage
obtained using TlsAlloc() and TlsSetValue() when the
thread terminates?
I need an answer to this question so that I can fix
ticket #1601: http://www.sqlite.org/cvstrac/tktview?tn=1601
Not quite so straightforward in Windows:

Excerpt of #4:
When each thread no longer needs to use a TLS index, it must free the memory
whose pointer is stored in the TLS slot. When all threads have finished
using a TLS index, use the TlsFree function to free the index. For example,
use the following code in your DllMain during DLL_THREAD_DETACH:
lpvBuffer = TlsGetValue(gdwTlsIndex);
LocalFree((HLOCAL) lpvBuffer);
and the following code during DLL_PROCESS_DETACH:
TlsFree(gdwTlsIndex);
