Hi guys,

have been looking for a way to identify a thread when a pseudo instruction is executed in it. So, I used threadId() and contextId() of ThreadContext object to get the thread id. According to the link below, the outputs are not what I have expected: 1) threadID() != S/W thread Id 2) contextId() != Process Id.

I have checked work_start/end() in Pseudo_inst.h using both Rdi and Rsi for workid and threadid passed through the pseudo_inst that is called in the user code.

Besides, in order to uniquely identify them, the pointer of ThreadContext could be utilized. However, 1) I am wondering whether there is a register maintaining an identifier of a current thread. And 2) what's exact meaning of threadid in ThreadContext?
