Should have got back to you sooner, but static_cast is not allowed between
pointer types and non-pointer types.
Thread_context.cc:73:11: error: static_cast from 'pthread_t' (aka
'_opaque_pthread_t *') to 'int' is not allowed
<< static_cast<int>(thread)
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I need reinterpret_cast<size_t> here. I cannot reinterpret_cast<int> either,
because of the difference in size.
