# Thread Local Storage

The header file <CGAL/tss.h> provides a macro `CGAL_STATIC_THREAD_LOCAL_VARIABLE(TYPE,VAR,ARG1)` that creates a thread local variable `VAR` of type `TYPE`, and passes `ARG1` to the constructor. The variable is either `threadlocal`, or a `boost::thread_specific_ptr`, or just a local variable if `CGAL_HAS_THREADS` is not defined.

# Mutex

The header file <CGAL/mutex.h> provides a macro `CGAL_MUTEX` and a macro `CGAL_SCOPED_LOCK(M)` that is either a `std::unique_lock<std::mutex>` or a `boost::mutex::scoped_lock`.
