Such a mechanism was in the initial RFC, but after discussion we decided to punt the static library issue to 1.8.14, pending further discussion, while implementing the DllMain dynamic library fix in 1.8.13.

I also had the same thought but, frankly, I then thought that it would be easier to hack the thing myself once you deliver it... Cheers -- ds 2014-03-25 15:06 GMT+01:00 Dana Robinson <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>>: This is a C library issue, so there are no constructors or destructors. Thread-safe & C++ bindings is currently an unsupported configuration. Dana From: Hdf-forum [mailto:[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>] On Behalf Of Werner Benger Sent: Monday, March 24, 2014 5:09 PM To: HDF Users Discussion List Subject: Re: [Hdf-forum] RFC: Thread-Local Storage Cleanup in Thread-Safe HDF5 for Windows As write there, this cleanup mechanism is not supported for static linkage. It looks like the same issues as global constructors/destructors in c++. Maybe it is acceptable to provide a cleanup mechanism via a small peace of C++ code where a global object's constructor/destructor does the same as what DllMain would do in a dynamic library.

Although no new public functionality will be exposed, the information may be of interest and I'd be interested in hearing from any static + thread-safe Windows users. The new function will appear in HDF5 1.8.13, which will be released in May. If anyone has any comments or concerns, please let us know.
