Releases a thread local storage (TLS) index, making it available for reuse.
BOOL TlsFree(
[in] DWORD dwTlsIndex
);
[in] dwTlsIndex
The TLS index that was allocated by the TlsAlloc function.
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.
Windows Phone 8.1: This function is supported for Windows Phone Store apps on Windows Phone 8.1 and later. When a Windows Phone Store app calls this function, it is replaced with an inline call to FlsFree. Refer to FlsFree for function documentation.
Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2, and Windows 10, version 1507: This function is supported for Windows Store apps on Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2, and Windows 10, version 1507. When a Windows Store app calls this function, it is replaced with an inline call to FlsFree. Refer to FlsFree for function documentation.
Windows 10, version 1511 and Windows 10, version 1607: This function is fully supported for Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps, and is no longer replaced with an inline call to FlsFree.
If the threads of the process have allocated memory and stored a pointer to the memory in a TLS slot, they should free the memory before calling TlsFree. The TlsFree function does not free memory blocks whose addresses have been stored in the TLS slots associated with the TLS index. It is expected that DLLs call this function (if at all) only during DLL_PROCESS_DETACH.
For more information, see Thread Local Storage.
For an example, see Using Thread Local Storage or Using Thread Local Storage in a Dynamic-Link Library.
