hi
I know that pthread_create(tid....) call assigns a unique thread id which is stored in tid field by default, you can specify your own thread id using first parameter of pthread_create

Since "printf("thread id: %u\n", pthread_id())" will generate a very
larger number than
"printf("process id: %u\n", getpid() )", so I don't think
pthread_self() will return the pid field of it's task_struct.
