n-api: fix win32 main thread detection #32823
Conversation

`uv_thread_self()` works on Windows only for threads created using `uv_thread_start()` because libuv does not use `GetCurrentThreadId()` for threads that were created otherwise. `uv_thread_equal()` works correctly. Thus, on Windows we use `GetCurrentThreadId()` to compare the main thread with the current thread. Signed-off-by: Gabriel Schulhof <gabriel.schulhof@intel.com>

Is it possible to do something like env_->is_main_thread() (worker thread's approach)? in which case we can potentially remove the ThreadID class as well as the main_thread instance variable?

@gireeshpunathil No, because this function may be called from a thread that does not have access to an instance of node::Environment.

Yes, I was talking about a static class member because the There's only one main thread in a process; it looks like what is meant here is more accurately called the home thread. Just wondering, didn't the |

@bnoordhuis I have created #32860 as an alternative. I'll keep it in draft until I've had a chance to look at the CI results. |

Closing in favour of #32860. |
uv_thread_self()works on Windows only for threads created usinguv_thread_start()because libuv does not useGetCurrentThreadId()for threads that were created otherwise.
uv_thread_equal()workscorrectly.
Thus, on Windows we use
GetCurrentThreadId()to compare the mainthread with the current thread.
