Re: [Boost-Users] Re: Thread library: get thread id

When I implemented the Leader-Follower thread pattern described by Schmidt,
et al in Pattern-Oriented Software Architecture, I couldn't figure out a
way around comparing the thread id to the current leader in the
promote_new_leader function.  Probably lack of imagination and/or
experience on my part, but having the thread id sure made it easier.

I don't follow this.

How does a thread id figure into this?  What little of this description I
understand gives no need for a thread id.
