Issue ID: 24532
Summary: Add pragma to set function as a TLS callback function
for Windows
Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: All
OS: Windows
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P1
Component: dmd
Assignee: nobody at puremagic.com
Reporter: alphaglosined at gmail.com
The ``DllMain`` function on Windows is an optional /user/ function for being
notified of when a binary load/unload or thread constructs and destructs.
However, it is not really an entry point function akin to ``main``.
It should be viewed as one of many call-back functions for TLS.

Having a pragma to set a function as one of these, would enable multiple
library notifications without tying up and using the ``DllMain`` function. For
druntime this is especially important if you want that to be a static library,
preventing the need for ``SimpleDllMain`` to exist.

hooks similar to crt_constructor.
