    29 /** Versit thread local storage.
    30 
    31 This class provides a performance improvement by allowing a CVersitUnicodeUtils 
    32 instance to be shared between parsers operating in the same thread, so that 
    33 a new instance does not have to be created for each parser. A pointer to the 
    34 unicode utilities object is held in thread local storage: a single word (32bits) 
    35 of data. Each unicode utilities object is managed by an instance of this class.
    36 
    37 Every time a parser is created, CVersitParser::ConstructL() calls the 
    38 CVersitTlsData constructor, and when the parser is destroyed the CVersitTlsData 
    39 destructor is called. If a CVersitTlsData object exists, the constructor 
    40 returns a pointer to it, otherwise a new one is constructed. The CVersitTlsData 
    41 object is only destroyed when no more parsers refer to it: a count is kept, 
    42 which is incremented every time the constructor is called and decremented each 
    43 time the destructor is called, and the object is only destroyed when the count 
    44 reaches zero.
    45 
    46 This class provides an additional major performance improvement 
    47 if you are sequentially constructing and destructing multiple parsers. 
    48 By default, when the count of parsers reaches zero, the thread local 
    49 storage object is destroyed (even if the thread has not finished). However, 
    50 by using the technique described below, the thread local storage object, and therefore 
    51 the unicode utilities object, can be made to persist, significantly reducing 
    52 the overhead of sequentially constructing and destructing parsers.
    53 
    54 The constructor needs to be called an extra time before creating any parsers, 
    55 and the destructor needs to be called an extra time once the parsers have 
    56 been destroyed. This has the effect of adding one to the reference count so 
    57 that during all the parser construction and deletion the count never hits 
    58 zero, which would trigger the TLS object's destruction.
    59 
    60 This can be implemented as follows:
    61 
    62 1. Create a thread local storage data class instance as follows: 
    63 @code
    64 CVersitTlsData* versitTLS = CVersitTlsData::VersitTlsDataL(); 
    65 @endcode
    66 
    67 2. Create and delete the parsers. 
    68 
    69 3. Delete the Thread Local Storage Data class instance: 
    70 @code
    71 delete versitTLS; 
    72 @endcode 
    73 @publishedAll
    74 @released
