90 A tid is an index in the VG_(threads)[] array. The entries
91 in VG_(threads) array are re-used, so the tid in an 'old' _Addrinfo
92 might be misleading: if the thread that was using tid has been terminated
93 and the tid was re-used by another thread, the tid will very probably
94 be wrongly interpreted by the user.
95 So, such an _Addrinfo should be printed just after it has been produced,
96 before the tid could possibly be re-used by another thread.
98 A tool such as helgrind is uniquely/unambiguously identifying each thread
99 by a number. If the tool sets tnr between the call to
100 VG_(describe_addr) and the call to VG_(pp_addrinfo), then VG_(pp_addrinfo)
101 will by preference print tnr instead of tid.
