This patch adds pthread_getname_np and pthread_setname_np. These were added to glibc in 2.12[1] and are also present in some form on NetBSD and several UNIXes. The code is based on NetBSD's implementation with changes to better match Linux behaviour. Implementation quirks: * pthread_setname_np with a NULL pointer segfaults (as linux) * pthread_setname_np returns ERANGE for names longer than 16 characters (as linux) * pthread_getname_np with a NULL pointer returns EFAULT (as linux) * pthread_getname_np with a buffer length of less than 16 returns ERANGE (as linux) * pthread_getname_np truncates the thread name to fit the buffer length. This guarantees success even when the default thread name is longer than 16 characters, but means there is no way to discover the actual length of the thread name. (Linux always truncates the thread name to 16 characters) * Changing program_invocation_short_name changes the default thread name (on linux, it has no effect on the default thread name) I'll leave it up to you to decide if any of these matter. This is implemented via class pthread_attr to make it easier to add pthread_attr_[gs]etname_np (present in NetBSD and some UNIXes) should it ever be added to Linux (or we decide we want it anyway).

README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
