#
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 thread object that does not represent threads of execution.

#
thread​::​id is a trivially copyable 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.

🔗
id() noexcept;
4
#
Effects: Constructs an object of type id.
5
#
Ensures: The constructed object does not represent a thread of execution.
🔗
bool operator==(thread::id x, thread::id y) noexcept;
6
#
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;
7
#
Returns: !(x == y)
🔗
bool operator<(thread::id x, thread::id y) noexcept;
8
#
Returns: A value such that operator< is a total ordering as described in [alg.sorting].
🔗
bool operator>(thread::id x, thread::id y) noexcept;
9
#
Returns: y < x.
🔗
bool operator<=(thread::id x, thread::id y) noexcept;
10
#
Returns: !(y < x).
🔗
bool operator>=(thread::id x, thread::id y) noexcept;
11
#
Returns: !(x < y).
🔗
template<class charT, class traits> basic_ostream<charT, traits>& operator<< (basic_ostream<charT, traits>& out, thread::id id);
12
#
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 have the same text representation and if x != y the thread​::​id objects have distinct text representations.
13
#
Returns: out.
🔗
template<> struct hash<thread::id>;
14
#
The specialization is enabled ([unord.hash]).
