Re: [boost] Windows MSVC thread exit handler for staticly linked Boost.Thread

Here is version working on MSVC6. It uses definition of 
IMAGE_TLS_DIRECTORY structure as defined in Platform SDK installed 
together with MSVC6 (later on it has been updated to contain just 6 
DWORDs). I received this code from Holger Grund, tweaked it to run with 
old Platform SDK headers, added Beeps and second thread and finally 
tested with MSVC6. I think that definition of _tls_used (from Holger) is 
something new and useful :>

#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
#include <windows.h>

typedef unsigned long ULONG_PTR;

namespace StaticTlsSection
{

   void NTAPI tls_thread_callback( void*, DWORD dwReason, void* )
   {
     if(dwReason == DLL_THREAD_DETACH)
       Beep(440, 100);
     else if(dwReason == DLL_PROCESS_DETACH)
       Beep(880, 50);
   }

   ULONG tls_index;

   const char data_template[1] = { 0 };
   //const void (NTAPI *callback_array[1])(
   PIMAGE_TLS_CALLBACK callback_array[2] =
   {
     &tls_thread_callback,
     NULL
   };

   extern "C" const IMAGE_TLS_DIRECTORY _tls_used;
   const IMAGE_TLS_DIRECTORY _tls_used =
   {
     reinterpret_cast<DWORD> ( &data_template ),
     reinterpret_cast<DWORD> ( (&data_template) + 1 ),
     reinterpret_cast<PDWORD> ( &tls_index ),
     reinterpret_cast<PIMAGE_TLS_CALLBACK *> ( &callback_array ),
     0,
     0
   };
}

DWORD WINAPI f(void *)
{
   Sleep(500);
   return 0;
}

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
   DWORD id;
   HANDLE h = CreateThread(NULL, 0, &f, 0, 0, &id);
   WaitForSingleObject(h, INFINITE);
   CloseHandle(h);

   return 0;
