Just a quick question about our native libpthread implementation.
Is there a way to test whether or not the currently executing thread is the
initial/primary thread? (That being the thread `first' internally in our
pthread_init()).
The only way I know how is to use pthread_self() before creating any other
threads and then comparing the result to later pthread_self() calls. I'd
rather not have to do it this way is there a simpler/better way?
Thanks
