# std::hash<std::thread::id>

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | thread‎ | thread‎ | id

Defined in header `<thread>` |  |
template<> struct hash<std::thread::id>; |  | (since C++11)

The template specialization of std::hash for the std::thread::id class allows users to obtain hashes of the identifiers of threads.

### Example

| This section is incomplete Reason: example that uses hash meaningfully

Run this code

    #include <iostream>
    #include <thread>
    #include <chrono>
    #include <vector>
    using namespace std::chrono_literals;
    void foo()
    {
        std::this_thread::sleep_for(10ms);
    }

    int main()
    {
        std::vector<std::thread> v;
        for(int n = 0; n < 4; ++n)
            v.emplace_back(foo);

        std::hash<std::thread::id> hasher;
        for(auto& t : v) {
            std::cout << "thread " << t.get_id() << " hashes to " << hasher(t.get_id()) << '\n';
            t.join();
        }
    }
