Hope that makes sense. On Windows, I try to avoid pthreads (the pthreads-win32 implementation). While it is certainly possible to use that on Windows, the current (IMHO preferable) way is using the native win32 threading system with a minimal amount of glue code. In other words: don't worry about that. > Of course it may be possible to use pthread_setname_np on linux too > (albeit with it's two arg variant...) which could simplify the code a bit... > > Both changes squashed into your commits. > > Col Maarten
