I have a threadSafe method that gets called by multiple threads. Is there a way to know which thread called it?

If you need it, you could add a threadId parameter, and let it thread pass it to the method

yeah I was aware of that but I wanted to minimize user intervention so as to not let anyone call the function in the wrong way, now user has to know if its a mainthread or qthread call. So it would have to add that parameter only when working in the qthread

Well, you know the thread that calls the method, and by extension the same thread will be active inside that method call. You can just call QThread::currentThread() to get this.

Ah yes, sorry -- I thought the original post said Java :) I got currentThread wrong in Java too, it is in fact Thread.currentThread() here too, ugh :) Anyway, glad my post helped; looks like the two APIs have similarly named classes / methods anyway :)
