Mac/iPhone: Is there a way to get a thread identifier without using Objective-C?

Question

Is there a way to get any kind of thread identifier of the currently running thread without resorting to Objective-C\'s NSThread.

I\'m improving our custom debug tracing

I appreciate this is a pretty old question.

To get the same Thread ID that is reported in macOS's Console.app I used:

uint64_t tid;
pthread_threadid_np(NULL, &tid);
printf("%#08x\nr", (unsigned int) tid);
