// This file declares a macro `KJ_THREADLOCAL_PTR` for declaring thread-local pointer-typed
// variables.  Use like:
//     KJ_THREADLOCAL_PTR(MyType) foo = nullptr;
// This is equivalent to:
//     thread_local MyType* foo = nullptr;
// This can only be used at the global scope.
//
// AVOID USING THIS.  Use of thread-locals is discouraged because they often have many of the same
// properties as singletons: http://www.object-oriented-security.org/lets-argue/singletons
//
// Also, thread-locals tend to be hostile to event-driven code, which can be particularly
// surprising when using fibers (all fibers in the same thread will share the same threadlocals,
// even though they do not share a stack).
//
// That said, thread-locals are sometimes needed for runtime logistics in the KJ framework.  For
// example, the current exception callback and current EventLoop are stored as thread-local
// pointers.  Since KJ only ever needs to store pointers, not values, we avoid the question of
// whether these values' destructors need to be run, and we avoid the need for heap allocation.
