that's right, 'Native_thread_id' is the platform-specific thread
representation, so in the OKL4-case it is 'L4_ThreadId_t' indeed. The
kernel-specific thread id in Genode/OKL4 is a member of 'Thread_state' a
thread property, that can be obtained via the cpu-session interface.
Although, it is recommended to use only generic Genode abstractions to stay
platform-independent, if you've to deal with the kernel-api directly, you
might use the cpu-session interface to gain some platform-specific thread
data within 'Thread_state'.
Here is some example code, printing all OKL4 thread IDs of one cpu-session:
int i;
Genode::Thread_state state;
Genode::Thread_capability tcap = Genode::env()->cpu_session()->first();
while(tcap.valid())
{
Genode::env()->cpu_session()->state(tcap, &state);
PDBG("tid of thread no. %d is %lx", i, state.tid.raw);
tcap = Genode::env()->cpu_session()->next(tcap);
++i;
}
Thereby, the order of the threads given by cpu-session's iterator isn't
necessarily the order of the thread's creation time!
