how does one go about getting the thread id from within the thread
itself?
i'm aware that Thread.list returns an array of thread objects (running
or stopped), i was looking for a way of identifying which object id
belonged to which thread...
eg.
a=Thread.new {
#what's a's thread id?
}
b=Thread.new {
#what's b's thread id?
}

Thread.current will tell the current thread id.
Also Thread.main will give you the main thread, and
Thread.list will give you all of them.
