call gettid witin glibc
I am working in glibc and I need to get the id of the current thread. For this i use syscall(SYS_gettid); Issue is, i am forced to include bits/syscall.h instead of ideal case i.e sys/syscall.h . sys/syscall.h internally calls bits/syscall.h but that is wrapped with #ifndef _LIBC macro. i.e #ifndef _LIBC /* The Linux kernel header file defines macros `__NR_<name>', but some programs expect the traditional form `SYS_<name>'. So in building libc we scan the kernel's list and produce <bits/syscall.h> with macros for all the `SYS_' names. */ # include <bits/syscall.h> #endif also bits/syscall.h
