Re: [cdt-dev] OT: Setting thread names (was: Displaying thread names in debug view)
|
Do you know if pthreads supports setting thread names? If so, how do I
set the name of a thread?

Hello folks,
a colleague of mine was wondering why the debug view does not display
thread names when the gdb debugger does return them when queried with
"info threads":
===================
[1.123.068.100.723] 16 info threads
[1.123.068.100.723] (gdb)
[1.123.068.100.723] ~"info threads\n"
[1.123.068.100.793] ~" 5 Thread 8 ( Name: TIMERThread, State: sleeping,
Priority: 14 ) "
[1.123.068.100.843] ~" 4 Thread 3 ( Name: Network support, State:
sleeping, Priority: 7 ) "
[1.123.068.100.893] ~" 3 Thread 2 ( Name: Network alarm support, State:
sleeping, Priority: 6 ) "
[1.123.068.100.953] ~" 2 Thread 1 ( Name: Idle Thread, State: ready,
Priority:31 ) "
[1.123.068.100.993] ~"* 1 Thread 9 ( Name: pthread.00000800, State:
running, Priority: 15 ) "
===================
I looked into it and found the follwing:
- org.eclipse.cdt.debug.mi.core.output.CLIInfoThreadsInfo analyzes the
gdb output.
- CLIInfoThreadsInfo.getThreadNames() currently simply returns null.
- CLIInfoThreadsInfo.parseThreadInfo(String, List) currently only parses
for the thread number.
- It is easy to augment parseThreadInfo(String, List) so that it
retrieves the thread name along with the number and then properly
implement getThreadNames(). This is sufficient for getting the thread
names displayed in the debug view.
Now we would find it a very handy feature to have the thread names and
would do the implementation and supply the patches and all this. My
question to the community are:
- Would this solution be accepted? Did I overlook anything?
- Can I proceed to create a bugzilla entry?
- Who will evaluate the patches?
- For which version of CDT will it be available?
Thanks for answers,
Norbert Ploett
