thread identification and getting the id

[nobody]

There are no identification for created threads in 
thread_group (at least working correctly under 
Linux). If it will be possible to set an id in 
function "create_thread" and have a function to get 
the id of current thread, then it will be a way to 
connect certain thread with some other resources (to 
do monitoring for example and for other purposes)

[Roland Schwarz]

The question of id has been brought up several times. It is not clear to me what you intend to do with this id. (At least the memory address of the thread instance class is kind of an id.) I invite you to discuss this on the boost thread developer list.
