Thread Local Storage

Thread Local Storage (TLS) is a programming feature that allows each thread in a multi-threaded application to have its own independent set of data. Imagine multiple workers sharing a workspace; TLS ensures each worker has their own personal toolkit, preventing interference or mix-ups. This way, threads can store and access data that is unique to them without affecting others, promoting safer and more efficient parallel processing. Essentially, TLS provides thread-specific storage that keeps data isolated, helping programs run correctly and smoothly when handling multiple tasks simultaneously.
