Thread storage duration
Thread storage duration is a C object storage duration in which an object’s lifetime is associated with a particular thread of execution.
Modern C, Third Edition
Thread storage duration is an object storage duration associated with a particular thread of execution.
- How it is used
- Classifies objects associated with a thread and connects storage duration to the C thread API.
- How deep it goes
- Defines the duration and its initialization rule but defers detailed thread-API treatment.
- Examples
- Uses the C23 `thread_local` spelling and the earlier `_Thread_local` spelling as concrete language constructs.
- What you can do after
- Evaluate/understand which initialization rule and language spelling apply to a thread-storage object.

Modern C
Thread storage duration is a C storage duration in which an object's lifetime is associated with a particular thread of execution.
- How it is used
- Classifies objects whose lifetimes follow individual threads of execution within C's storage-duration model.
- How deep it goes
- Defines thread binding, lifetime boundaries, and default initialization but does not develop a thread-specific code example.
- What you can do after
- Evaluate whether an object's lifetime and default initialization follow a particular thread rather than another storage-duration rule.
