Hey folks, I mentioned earlier in the thread about the ThreadInfo.from() bug that I found this because I was looking at fixing JDK-8154176, which proposes introducing native thread ids to Thread and ThreadInfo.
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8154176 I have a prototype for it. I have a couple of questions, though: 0) Does anyone object to this being done or my doing it? I see that it already has an owner. 1) Should the ID be a long? The Hotspot thread dump prints it out as 0x%x, which is an unsigned hexadecimal integer. The type hiding behind it is platform-dependent, though: a pid_t on Linux, an unsigned long on Windows, a thread_t on Solaris. I could make it a String instead... Jeremy
