[lldb-dev] Associating SBThread with a native thread

[Greg Clayton]

We use the globally unique thread ID:

static uint64_t 
GetGloballyUniqueThreadIDForMachPortID (thread_t mach_port_id)
{
    kern_return_t kr;
    thread_identifier_info_data_t tident;
    mach_msg_type_number_t tident_count = THREAD_IDENTIFIER_INFO_COUNT;
    kr = thread_info (mach_port_id, THREAD_IDENTIFIER_INFO, (thread_info_t) &tident, &tident_count);
    if (kr != KERN_SUCCESS)
    {
        return mach_port_id;
    }
    return tident.thread_id;
}

this is the best way because mach ports can be re-used, but the globally unique thread ID is always guaranteed to be unique.
