Thread Names in the UI
When set, thread names are displayed in both the Process Window and the Root Window.
 |
This program sets these thread names:
pthread_mutex_lock(&name_mutex);
int rc;
if (!first_in)
{
first_in = true;
rc = pthread_setname_np(thread, "Primary");
}
else
rc = pthread_setname_np(thread, "Secondary");
The first thread to enter a function is named “Primary”, and all subsequent threads are called “Secondary.”
Note that the thread names are displayed in:
1. The Thread status bar at the top, which also displays the utid / ktid (“thread user ID” / “thread kernel ID”)
2. The Stack Frame view, if relevant
3. The Threads View tab, again also displaying the utid / ktid.
