getting a thread id

[Erich Lin]

Is there a way to get the thread id of a thread without passing around
the thread object? I would like to do this because I would like to
pass the thread id of a thread I created as a parameter in a rails
application.

thanks

You can get the current Thread object via Thread.current. You can then
use the object's id as the "thread id". E.g.:

my_thread_id = Thread.current.object_id
