Re: pthread_setname_np() for debugging

[Martin Oberhuber <mober.at@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello PJSIP,

My patch from 2-May solves a real annoyance for us. And I don't think that 

pthread_setname_np() could have any negative impact.

I'm attaching the patch again for reference. I can rebase the patch to latest

if desired, or move the pthread_setname_np() to a different location.

But first of all a comment would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Martin

Dear pjsip list 

When debugging our multi-threaded Linux application that links
against PJSIP, it is quite annoying that the PJSIP threads don't
declare themselves. The threads inherit the application name,
which makes it difficult finding our own application's main thread.

Attached patch improves this by using pthread_setname_np() from
inside lib/pj/os_core_unix.c : pj_thread_create().

Could this patch be considered for inclusion in the next PJSIP release?

Many thanks,
Martin
