"Represents a thread of execution. SBProcess contains SBThread(s).

SBThreads can be referred to by their ID, which maps to the system specific thread
identifier, or by IndexID.  The ID may or may not be unique depending on whether the
system reuses its thread identifiers.  The IndexID is a monotonically increasing identifier
that will always uniquely reference a particular thread, and when that thread goes
away it will not be reused.

SBThread supports frame iteration. For example (from test/python_api/
lldbutil/iter/TestLLDBIterator.py),

        from lldbutil import print_stacktrace
        stopped_due_to_breakpoint = False
        for thread in process:
            if self.TraceOn():
                print_stacktrace(thread)
            ID = thread.GetThreadID()
            if thread.GetStopReason() == lldb.eStopReasonBreakpoint:
                stopped_due_to_breakpoint = True
            for frame in thread:
                self.assertTrue(frame.GetThread().GetThreadID() == ID)
                if self.TraceOn():
                    print frame

        self.assertTrue(stopped_due_to_breakpoint)
