Method Detail

getCurrentThreadId

public static ThreadIdentifierObject getCurrentThreadId()

On a given thread, this will always return the same instance. This object instance will be unique to that thread, meaning that object equality can be exploited to check whether execution has moved to another thread (use isFromCurrentThread(ThreadIdentifierObject) for that).

Returns:

this thread's identifier object.

isFromCurrentThread

public static boolean isFromCurrentThread(ThreadIdentifierObject originalId)

Checks whether the argument is the same instance as the current thread's identifier object and thus checks if execution has moved to a different thread.

Parameters:

originalId - to use to check if this is still the same thread.

Returns:

true if the argument is the same instance as the current thread's identifier object.
