Function Documentation

threadId()

DISPENSO_DLL_ACCESS uint64_t dispenso::threadId

(

)

Get the current thread's identifier, unique within the current process.

Returns

An integer representing the current thread.

Note

Thread IDs are assumed to not be reused over the lifetime of a process, but this should still enable processes running for thousands of years, even with very poor spawn/kill thread patterns.

If thread ID is needed for cross-process synchronization, one must fall back on system-specific thread IDs.
