Parent Thread Of Child Thread

Parent Thread Of Child Thread

Suppose a process creates some threads say threadC and threadD.
Later on each of these threads create new child threads say threadC1, threadC2, threadC3 etc. So a tree of threads will get created.
Is there any way to find out the parent thread of one such randomly created thread?

Actually when our application starts 70 threads gets created which is as per the requirement.
Later on as per the needs these 70 threads can create more threads.
So apart from these 70 threads a large number of other threads gets created(from these 70 threads) and destroyed randomly.
So imagine there is a tree of threads.
There is an issue coming up in one such randomly created thread.
On debugging the code we saw that the issue will be due to a value set by its
parent thread.
So we have to find the parent thread of this erroneus thread.

We are not able to get the parent thread id of this thread?

Will anybody let us know how to find the parent of such randomly created threads?

HISTORY

       Most of this was part of Parrallel::Runner intended for use in the Fennec project. Fennec is being broken into multiple parts, this is one
       such part.

FENNEC PROJECT

       This module is part of the Fennec project. See Fennec for more details.	Fennec is a project to develop an extendable and powerful testing
       framework.  Together the tools that make up the Fennec framework provide a potent testing environment.

       The tools provided by Fennec are also useful on their own. Sometimes a tool created for Fennec is useful outside the greator framework.
       Such tools are turned into their own projects. This is one such project.
