Hi,

Could you please explain for beginner in thread-related business, how the thread
is identified from itself? Can the program, that it the given thread, obtain its
own number or an index of itself? I assume that there should be some enumeration
such as numbering the main program by 0, next child thread by 1, etc.? And, in
particular, is this number available from boost thread library?

THanks in advance

Igor
