Hi,

I am currently writing a fuse wrapper for D and try to support fuse multithreading which is based on pthreads. However fuse doesn't offer me a proper way to hook into the creation and joining process of threads.

I can attach the threads created by libfuse but cannot find a way to properly detach the threads from the runtime:

My current approach:
  Whenever a fuse function is called I check with a thread local
  variable "isAttached" if the current thread is already attached, if
  not, I call thread_attachThis.

This works fine and let the GC properly suspend the threads, however when fuse_main() returns all threads are gone but the Druntime still tracks the now non-existant threads anymore. When the GC does a final sweep it will crash. Any ideas how to unregister my threads beforehand.

I know that thread_detachByAddr exists, but the Thread object from Thread.getAll or Thread.opApply doesn't expose the thread address.

Hints?

- Thanks,David

Would thread_detachThis work for you?  Alternately, you can use pthread_self to get the current thread's address on Posix and GetCurrentThreadId on Windows.
