Clarify the guarantees that ThreadId does and doesn't make. The existing documentation does not spell out whether `ThreadId`s are unique during the lifetime of a thread or of a process. I had to examine the source code to realise (pleasingly!) that they're unique for the lifetime of a process. That seems worth documenting clearly, as it's a strong guarantee. Examining the way `ThreadId`s are created also made me realise that the `as_u64` method on `ThreadId` could be a trap for the unwary on those platforms where the platform's notion of a thread identifier is also a 64 bit integer (particularly if they happen to use a similar identifier scheme to `ThreadId`). I therefore think it's worth being even clearer that there's no relationship between the two. |
