+# Motivation
+
+## Thread local storage
+Thread safe static variable initialization is often used to implement singleton pattern. (C3 uses it to automate registration of Interfaces).
+```
+MWR::C3::InterfaceFactory& MWR::C3::InterfaceFactory::Instance()
+{
+	static auto instance = InterfaceFactory{};
+	return instance;
+}
+```
+In theory this doesn't seem like it would be using thread local storage, but in practice (for optimization) most compilers will generate code that uses TLS to store a flag once the variable has been initialized, in order to avoid unnecesary locking.
+
+TL;DR: The PE's TLS Directory specifies the data that must be initialized for new threads.
+
+## Exceptions
+I don't think usage of exceptions in c++ codebase has to be justified.
+
+Microsoft's Structured Exception Handling in depth: http://bytepointer.com/resources/pietrek_crash_course_depths_of_win32_seh.htm
+
+C++ excetions are implemented in terms of SEH.
+
+TL;DR: PE files specifies a table that contains data where to contiunue execution when exception is raised.
+
+# Implementation
+
+Our solution is to put a PE loader into donut's PE loader.
+
+Limitations for the new loader:
+- don't use TLS (inlcudes `__declspec(thread)`, Thread safe statics, `std::call_once` etc.) -> boils down to checking the CebuLoader's TLS directory size == 0
+- don't use exceptions -> however CebuLoader.exe's exception directoy size != 0 (Probably beacause of statically linked CRT)
+- don't rely on self image headers as those will be wiped by donut loader (eg. don't use  `kernel32!FindResource*`, read `pImageNtHeaders->OptionalHeader.SizeOfImage`)
+
+## CebuLoader
+
+Xenos injector (underlying Blackbone library) implements both static TLS data and EH.
+
+TLS:
+ - call private function `ntdll!LdrpHandleTlsData`
+
+EH:
+ - x64: call `ntdll!RtlAddFunctionTable` + add VEH that sets c++ exception base address and changes its magic number
+ - x86: call private `ntdll!RtlInsertInvertedFunctionTable`. There's no need for installig VEH as in Xenos (beceause C3 compiles with `/SAFESEH`)
+
+Using private functions from ntdll:
+ - find a function pointer with pattern matching + offsets (credit to Blackbone for signatures and offsets)
+ - select a calling convention and function signature at runtime acording to windows version
+
+Embedding target dll in CebuLoader
+ - use Tools/ResourceGenerator
+ - embedded resource has format [16 byte guid][1 byte terminator 0xff][4 byte size][body][4 byte size][ExportName (null terminated)] (the guid if 0xff terminated to avoid finding the guid c-string when searching the module memory)
+
+Limitations:
+ - EH works only if both the embedded dll is statically linked with CRT. // TODO check if CebuLoader also has to be linked statically (currently it is)
