How to run specific part of the SerialGC in a new thread?

[Ofir Gordon]

Hi,

It's a very late followup but I just got to work on it.
Thanks for the code example, it seems to work.
Is there a way to get the current thread's id, before activating the worker
and after activating it? Again, the normal cpp way using
std::this_thread::get_id() is not compiling (I can't seem to include
<thread> in the project..)
Also, is there a way to wait on a worker until it finishes? or does it
happen automatically since it initializes a "not concurrent" thread?

Thanks again,
Ofir
