Get current dispatch queue?

Question

I have a method which should support being called from any queue, and should expect to.

It runs some code in a background thread itself, and then uses dispatch

Based on the source from SQLite.swift.
If you want to check whether you're on own special dispatch queue:

class Worker {
    private static let queueKey = DispatchSpecificKey()
    private lazy var queueContext = unsafeBitCast(self, to: Int.self)
    private lazy var queue: DispatchQueue = {
        let value = DispatchQueue(label: "com.example.App.Worker")
        value.setSpecific(key: Worker.queueKey, value: queueContext)
        return value
    }()

    func test(x: Int) -> Int {
        return dispatchSync {
            return x > 2 ? test(x: x - 1) * x : x
        }
    }

    private func dispatchSync(_ block: () throws -> T) rethrows -> T {
        if DispatchQueue.getSpecific(key: Worker.queueKey) != queueContext {
            return try queue.sync(execute: block)
        }
        return try block()
    }
}

let worker = Worker()
worker.test(x: 5)
