I know that this is a very old email :)

Just for future reference:

using GLib;

public class ThreadSelf {
        private unowned Thread<void*> main_thread;
        
        public ThreadSelf () {
                main_thread = Thread.self<void*> ();
                unowned Thread<void*> thread = Thread.create<void*> (this.fun, false);
                Thread.usleep (100);
        }
        
        public void* fun () {
                stderr.printf("ThreadSelf.fun - running in main thread: %s\n",
Thread.self<void*>() == main_thread ? "yes" : "no");
                return null;
        }
        
        public static void main () {
                var thread = new ThreadSelf();
                thread.fun ();
        }
}

HTH,
