Doh!  I just looked at:
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/lib/libpthread/include/pthread.h
and it looks like OpenBSD does the same thing.

Just wondering, is the FreeBSD KSE project implementing a
POSIX compliant pthread_t?

Cool.  Sometimes standards are a pain in the neck, but my main interest
in FreeBSD's POSIX compliance for threads is to be more and more of a 
drop-in replacement for Linux. :)


So is OpenSSL stuff which requires id_function() broken on
FreeBSD then?

The C++-style work-around for my code is to do:

    return reinterpret_cast<unsigned long>(pthread_self());

which is similar to Lev Walkin's suggestion for a C style cast.

This gets things to compile, but seems like trying to fit a square
peg in a round hole....

Thanks.
