The `thread_local` specifier is used on a few microcontroller platforms already, but would be absolutely illegal in C11 and before to use. However, it vastly simplifies memory management in a threaded context.

Why would I rather step into the world of C++ just to deal with that?

IIRC, performance and cost of thread local store varies greatly between platforms.

You have to know what you're biting into, before you use that.
