An object of type thread::id provides a unique identifier for each thread of execution and a single distinct value for all thread objects that do not represent a thread of execution ([thread.thread.class]). Each thread of execution has an associated thread::id object that is not equal to the thread::id object of any other thread of execution and that is not equal to the thread::id object of any std::thread object that does not represent threads of execution.
thread::id shall be a trivially copyable class (Clause [class]). The library may reuse the value of a thread::id of a terminated thread that can no longer be joined.
[ Note: Relational operators allow thread::id objects to be used as keys in associative containers. — end note ]
Effects: Constructs an object of type id.
Postconditions: The constructed object does not represent a thread of execution.
bool operator==(thread::id x, thread::id y) noexcept;
Returns: true only if x and y represent the same thread of execution or neither x nor y represents a thread of execution.
bool operator!=(thread::id x, thread::id y) noexcept;
Returns: !(x == y)
bool operator<(thread::id x, thread::id y) noexcept;
Returns: A value such that operator< is a total ordering as described in [alg.sorting].
bool operator<=(thread::id x, thread::id y) noexcept;
Returns: !(y < x)
bool operator>(thread::id x, thread::id y) noexcept;
Returns: y < x
bool operator>=(thread::id x, thread::id y) noexcept;
Returns: !(x < y)
template<class charT, class traits>
basic_ostream<charT, traits>&
operator<< (basic_ostream<charT, traits>&& out, thread::id id);
Effects: Inserts an unspecified text representation of id into out. For two objects of type thread::id x and y, if x == y the thread::id objects shall have the same text representation and if x != y the thread::id objects shall have distinct text representations.
Returns: out
template <> struct hash<thread::id>;
Requires: the template specialization shall meet the requirements of class template hash ([unord.hash]).
