Continous thread ids

[sapdb at komadev.de]

Hi,

i wrote a little thread test programm. when i run it i get an output like 
...
10 of 10 threads running, i am 0x8069000
10 of 10 threads running, i am 0x806c000
10 of 10 threads running, i am 0x806f000
...

is there a generic way (not kse dependant), to get a still unique countinous 
thread id starting with 1,2 .... n ? With linuxthreads, it was possible by a 
dirty hack, masking out the upper 20 bit, but that seems not to be the way its 
meant to work huh ?

any ideas ?

kind regards kai

    return 0;
