Let's go to the core question as it's near bed time Smilie

From a pure POSIX standpoint, if we want to get the "parent thread id" (the term "parent thread" is BTW is misnomer since POSIX states that all threads are peers), you need to keep track of the "thread's tree" yourself.

Now specifically, if you tell us which OS is (are) targeted, we may perhaps find an OS specific solution.
