There's no such thing as a "null thread id". A pthread_t value is either the id of a thread which is still valid (still running or joinable and not yet joined), or *any* use of it produces undefined behavior. There is no value reserved for a sentinel. If you need an optional thread id variable/field, you need a separate validity flag alongside it. None of this is unique to musl; it's the way the POSIX threads interfaces are designed. Rich
