[Boost-users] [thread] Obtaining thread id on Windows

9 Sep 2009

      I'm using Boost.Thread to create a thread that process the message queue
on Windows. In order to send it a message via PostThreadMessage I need a
thread id rather than a handle. Is there a way to obtain the native
thread id from a boost::thread ? If not, any help on how to patch my
local copy of the library? There is no documented way of getting a
thread id from a thread handle in Windows XP.

Thank you.
