Thread ID vs pthread handle (pthread_t)

In the case of multi-threaded implementation, pthread_t is used as the abstract type and is specified as the whole line with a length of 4 as the thread ID.

In the thread implementation of some iseries servers, the thread ID is a 64-bit integer value and pthread_t is an abstract

The struct contains values and some other parameters. Abstraction allows a process to accommodate thousands of threads.

 

If transplantation is not allowed, processes are not allowed to access the internal data and size of pthread_t, such as comparing thread IDs,

Use the pthread_equal function. This document usually describes pthread_t as the thread handle. Avoid using an integer to represent the thread ID.

While obfuscation,

Thread ID vs. pthread handle (pthread_t)

 

In bytes threads implementations, thepthread_t abstract type is implemented as an integer (4 byte) thread ID.

In the iseries Implementation of pthreads, the thread ID is a 64-bit integral value and the pthread_t is

Role action (structure) that contains thatvalue and others. This role action helps to allow the implementation

Toscale to thousands of threads in a process.

 

Do not allow your program to rely on theinternal structure or size of the pthread_t in a non-portable fashion,

Suchas comparisons of thread IDs. For portable comparison, use the pthread_equal () API. This documentation

Occasionally refers to the pthread_t as apthread handle to try to prevent the misconception that

It represents a single integer value.
