Get own threadID without passing as parameter

Hi,
Same posts from different users have been done many times but none solved.
Is there any way to get own ThreadID from inside thread, just like ProgramFileName()?
If anyone knows that this is impossible also thanks for reply.

Curious as to what you need it for.

Yes... Very curious. Maybe I should remove 1 of 4,7 square meter of living surface to try to understand the psychological mechanism which bring such these questions with such a sentence as << Same posts from different users have been done many times but none solved >>.
@Lik137
Yes, there is a way. I published this way obviously, and certainly I am not the alone person to publish it.
Could you give more details about the same posts from different users ?
This allows me to stamp a link in each of these post you talk about.

On Linux it works like so:
Code: Select all
Procedure test(dummy.i)
Debug "Inside thread: " + pthread_self_()
EndProcedure
Define thread.i = CreateThread(@test(), 0)
Debug "Outside thread: " + thread
Delay(1000)
Output:
Outside thread: 139836075214592
Inside thread: 139836075214592

Hello NicTheKick,
thank you for your help.
I would proceed as below x64, but I let you have the right ref.
Code: Select all
Procedure Zot(void.Q)
Define uit.Q
! mov [p.v_uit], rax
EndProcedure

Dear netmaestro,
Thank You for reply.
This is for passing commands from clients to server and putting into queue.
Each command is handled and put into list/map in structure
Then for each command new thread is being created.
In this thread I want to link CommandID with threadID so each thread handles it's own Command.
That is it.

Hi NicTheQuick,
Thanks very much.

Code: Select all
Structure Bus
void.i
...
EndStructure
Procedure myProc(*B.Bus)
With *B
...
EndWith
EndProcedure
Define *B.Bus
Th0 = CreateThread(@myProc(), *B)
Repeat
Delay(1)
Until *B\Quit

without map neither array to test.

Code: Select all
Procedure test(dummy.i)
Debug "Inside thread: " + GetCurrentProcessId_()
Debug "Inside thread: " + GetCurrentThreadId_()
Delay(20000)
EndProcedure
Define thread.i = CreateThread(@test(), 0)
Debug "Outside thread: " + thread
Delay(25000)
According to SysInternals ProcessExplorer is GetCurrentThreadId_() the right value.

Dear infratec,
Just added "Debug "Outside2 thread: " + ThreadID(thread)" before delay(25000) to check result
Code: Select all
Procedure test(dummy.i)
Debug "Inside thread: " + GetCurrentProcessId_()
Debug "Inside thread: " + GetCurrentThreadId_()
Delay(20000)
EndProcedure
Define thread.i = CreateThread(@test(), 0)
Debug "Outside1 thread: " + thread
Debug "Outside2 thread: " + ThreadID(thread)
Delay(25000)
results:
[00:46:53] Outside1 thread: 1
[00:46:53] Outside2 thread: 184
[00:46:53] Inside thread: 516
[00:46:53] Inside thread: 7164
Inside and Outside completely different.
Thanks very much

I know, but I think this is a PB bug:
There is nothing to see of 364

Is this what you mean?
Code: Select all
Global id_thread_1, id_thread_2
Procedure Thread1(null)
Debug "Thread 1 ID: "+Str(id_thread_1)
EndProcedure
Procedure Thread2(null)
Debug "Thread 2 ID: "+Str(id_thread_2)
EndProcedure
id_thread_1=CreateThread(@Thread1(),0)
id_thread_2=CreateThread(@Thread2(),0)
Delay(100)

Extended version without global variables:
Code: Select all
Structure ThreadParameterStructure
Thread.i
Delay.i
EndStructure
Procedure test(*ThreadParameter.ThreadParameterStructure)
Debug "CurrentProcessId: " + GetCurrentProcessId_()
Debug "CurrentThreadId : " + GetCurrentThreadId_()
;Debug "CurrentThread : " + GetCurrentThread_()
Delay(*ThreadParameter\Delay)
EndProcedure
Define ThreadParameter.ThreadParameterStructure
ThreadParameter\Delay = 20000
ThreadParameter\Thread = CreateThread(@test(), @ThreadParameter)
Debug "Outside Thread: " + ThreadParameter\Thread
Debug "Outside ThreadID: " + ThreadID(ThreadParameter\Thread)
Delay(25000)
Since you need (normally) always parameters, you can add them in the structure.

Dear infratec,
I agree with You regarding the real thread obtained by GetCurrentThreadId_()
But how to use this ThreadID with PureBasic thread library to check if running or pause or kill.
With Purebasic ThreadID() it is possible to pause or kill or check if thread running.
Thank You very much
