代码示例：linux多线程

#include <stdio.h>
#include <pthread.h>
#include <sys/syscall.h>

int gettid(){
	return syscall(SYS_gettid);
}

void print_pid_tid(){
	printf("Current pid is %u and current tid(lwp_id) is %u\n", 
		(unsigned int)getpid(), (unsigned int)gettid());
}
void * thread_func(){
	printf("Created thread: ");
	print_pid_tid();
}

int main(){
	pthread_t  thread; 
	int err = pthread_create(&thread, NULL, thread_func, NULL); //第3个参数是一个函数，相当于java Runnable类里的run方法
	if(err != 0){
		perror("Cannot create thread");
	}

	pthread_join(thread, NULL); //跟java里的Thread.join()方法一码事
	printf("Main thread: ");
	print_pid_tid();
}


	

编译时要使用-pthread参数

$gcc -pthread fullthread.c

运行结果

Created thread: Current pid is 29739 and current tid(lwp_id) is 29740

Main thread: Current pid is 29739 and current tid(lwp_id) is 29739

主线程和新线程的PID是相同的，这是因为POSIX的规定：同一个程序中的所有线程应该有相同的PID.

但是二者的轻量级进程ID(lwp)并不相同. 因为linux就是通过lwp来实现线程的。
