Why do you ask? Could you be more specific in what problem you encounter?

You mean you are using a C++ library that maps std::threads to
pthreads, or are you talking about a mapping to the musl C11 threads
implementation, that then shares code with musl's pthread
implementation?

(Mapping std::threads to C11 threads should clearly be the more
appropriate choice.)

Just annoncing that you have problems doesn't tell us much. Describe
your problem properly, please.

and the other with comparsion of std::thread ids:

Why wouldn't just a declaration of the function prototype suffice?

The way you are doing this would clearly not work for C since this
would instantiate a version of the function in every translation unit.
