Which thread/process am I in?

[palaver]

I often read in the documentation or in the source code comments, something along the lines of "This function can only be called in the browser process" or "This must be invoked in the UI thread" (these quotes are not verbatim, but you get the idea). How do I know which thread or process I'm in? For example, I see code in the cefclient application that looks like this:

Code: Select all

if (CURRENTLY_ON_MAIN_THREAD()) {
    CreateRootWindow(settings);
} else {
    MAIN_POST_CLOSURE(
        base::Bind(&RootWindowWin::CreateRootWindow, this, settings));
}


Is writing such code sufficient for CEF to take care of this for me?

Take a look at include/cef_task.h. It exposes functions for determining the current thread and for posting tasks to specific threads. TID_RENDERER is the only thread in the renderer process -- all the rest are in the browser process.
