What are memory leaks in thread-local storage?

What are memory leaks in thread-local storage?

Memory leaks in thread-local storage occur when data allocated for a specific thread is not properly released, leading to increased memory usage.

How can I identify if my application has these leaks?

You can use profiling tools like Valgrind or built-in memory analyzers in IDEs to track memory usage and identify leaks.

What are the common causes of these leaks?

Common causes include failing to clear thread-local variables after use or excessive allocation without deallocation.

Can these leaks affect application performance?

Yes, they can lead to increased memory consumption, which may slow down the application and eventually cause crashes.
