Yeah I guess. Something like this should sort of work (pseudo code):

DWORD cookie;

thread_local_state *tls_get(void)
{
   static bool initialized = false;

   if (!initialized) {
      cookie = TlsAlloc();
      initialized = true;
   }

   thread_local_state *tls = TlsGetValue(cookie);
   if (tls == NULL && GetLastError() == NO_ERROR) {
      tls = _AL_MALLOC(sizeof(tls));
      /* initialize tls */
      TlsSetValue(cookie, tls);
   }

   return tls;
}


But how do you free the memory?
