Thread-Local-Storage Callbacks are a seldom used feature of Portable
Executables. Many compilers and linkers, including Microsoft's, do not fully
support TLS callbacks, or have a buggy implementation. Furthermore, they are
not universally supported on all Windows platforms. Win9x does not execute
them under all conditions (i.e. program load), while WinNT does.
PECompact v2.7+ fully supports TLS callbacks. One advantage of using
PECompact is that TLS callbacks will be executed in a universally consistent
way. |
