TlsFree
This function releases a thread local storage (TLS) index, making it available for reuse.
BOOL TlsFree(DWORD dwTlsIndex);
Parameters
- dwTlsIndex
Specifies a TLS index that was allocated by the TlsAlloc function.
Return Values
Nonzero indicates success. Zero indicates failure. 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.
