Abstract
A Windows™ process loader is emulated for dynamic TLS data allocation during respective application runtime. A total required TLS data block size is initially calculated and corresponding data block duplicates are created preferably after initializing of the application. An event notification system such as a hooking system intercepts DLL loading and freeing activity as well as thread creation and exiting and provides event notifications for dynamic allocation of corresponding TLS data block duplicates.
