Hi.
I cannot get thread ID with Thread.getThis() in specific callback

What is the cause of this problem?

Because D runtime doesn't know about the newly created thread, and static constructors weren't called. Try calling the following in your callbacks: if (Thread.getThis() is null) thread_attachThis(); // if (dont_know_about_this_thread) initialize_it();

The problem is that the thread is created outside of druntime, internal to the Windows API. How is druntime to know about it unless you tell it?

This could be done by installing a kernel driver that would use PsSetCreateThreadNotifyRoutine (if I remember the name correctly) to register a callback that would use an IPC mechanism to notify druntime about new threads created by the system. Chances that this approach will be adopted by druntime are less than zero.

As you said, it seems difficult to run away from this problem. But, this problem causes the phenomenon that is hard to reappear. import win32.windows; import win32.mmsystem; import std.stdio; import core.thread; extern (Windows) void waveInProc(in HWAVEIN handle, in uint message, in DWORD instance, in DWORD param1, in DWORD param2) { int[] a; int[] b = a.dup; // Access violation occurs in druntime rarely. //auto tid = Thread.getThis(); //assert(tid); // assertion failure } void main() { foreach (_; 0..1000) // many times { WAVEFORMATEX formatEx; with (formatEx) { wFormatTag = WAVE_FORMAT_PCM; nChannels = 1; nSamplesPerSec = 44100; wBitsPerSample = 16; nBlockAlign = cast(ushort)(wBitsPerSample * nChannels / 8); nAvgBytesPerSec = nSamplesPerSec * nBlockAlign; } HWAVEIN handle; waveInOpen(&handle, WAVE_MAPPER, cast(WAVEFORMATEX*)&formatEx, cast(DWORD)&waveInProc, cast(DWORD)null, CALLBACK_FUNCTION); uint bufferSize = cast(uint)(formatEx.nAvgBytesPerSec * 1/+second+/); WAVEHDR* hdr = new WAVEHDR; hdr.lpData = cast(LPSTR)new ushort[bufferSize]; hdr.dwBufferLength = bufferSize; hdr.dwFlags = 0; hdr.dwLoops = 0; waveInPrepareHeader(handle, hdr, WAVEHDR.sizeof); waveInAddBuffer(handle, hdr, WAVEHDR.sizeof); waveInStart(handle); waveInClose(handle); } } Because the following "t" is null in core.thread.getThis rarely. Why? I think that we should react to this problem. core.thread.d(1214): t = thread_findByAddr( GetCurrentThreadId() );

I tried your code with the additions, and it works (dmd-2.050 on XP/32).

If you are on some 64-bit system: I've seen threads without any TLS set 
up at all. If you check the disassembly at the crash location, and there 
is a read from FS:[0x2c] that results in 0, then you are probably 
hitting this problem.

It is rather delicate to modify the windows TLS data structures, so an 
option might be to not touch any TLS in the waveInProc (including any 
memory allocations), but to just set an event to notify another thread 
that has been created with "new Thread".

Oh, Sorry. It didn't work on Vista/64 (dmd-r795, druntime-r444 and Phobos-r2217).

I don't know the assembly...

I understood that any memory allocations were not possible in these functions. Though I wanted to use std.concurrency.send, but it is impossible. Thank you.

Cannot we use some memory allocations such as "assert" and "new Exception"?
