Why do you need to signal the thread? Do you want the thread to exit?

I don't think you want to signal the thread. You want to signal an object in 
the thread. Besides, if you have the thread ID, why do you want all threads to 
check if they were the intended one? Why don't you just tell the intended 
target object that it has work to do?

I think you're asking for the simple producer-consumer case that has an 
example in Qt.
