        <pre>At first, MSVC appears to not allow dllexporting thread-local variables:

  int __declspec(thread) __declspec(dllexport) x = 42

a.cc
d:\src\tmp\a.cc(1) : error C2492: 'x' : 'thread' data may not have dll
interface




However, if the variable is exported because it's a static local of an exported
static member function, it seems to be OK:

  struct __declspec(dllexport) S {
    static int f() {
      static int __declspec(thread) x = 42;
      return x;
    }
  }

(no error)

Note that x is still getting exported:

   /EXPORT:??4S@@QAEAAU0@ABU0@@Z
   /EXPORT:?x@?1??f@S@@SAHXZ@4HA,DATA   <--- x


However, clang-cl doesn't allow that code:

d:\src\tmp\a.cc(3,35) :  error: 'x' cannot be thread local when declared
      'dllexport'
    static int __declspec(thread) x = 42;
