Re: [PATCH] Add pthread_getname_np, pthread_setname_np
Just FYI,
Windows' way to have the program affect thread names in the
debugger is with SetThreadName, which throws a magic exception
which the debugger can catch. GDB doesn't know about this though.

Just for completeness... I don't know if there's a native
method that's closer to pthread_setname_np's semantics.
