Hello,
I added optional user-defined thread names.
https://devel.rtems.org/ticket/2858
The GNU pthread extensions pthread_getname_np() and
pthread_setname_np() are
now available in RTEMS and work for all threads (internal, Classic,
POSIX,
FreeBSD).
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/pthread_setname_np.3.html
The maximum thread name size is a configuration option
(CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_THREAD_NAME_SIZE).
Where should this new feature be documented in the C user manual?
I guess at posix-users/thread.rst? I don't know if we have a list of
function calls that work across the APIs, but I know quite a few do.
It think the POSIX API manual should be replaced by a simple list of
POSIX functions implemented by RTEMS. Each with a link to The Open Group
documentation and optionally RTEMS-specific things.
What happens with PDF or epub format? Currently the PDF documentation is
fully contained. Doing this means the users has to have internet access
to use it.
Who looks at the RTEMS documentation to figure out what a POSIX function
does? I never used the POSIX API manual.
The thread names are available for every API. It should be documented
somewhere in the user manual.
The C user manual? The RTEMS User Manual does not contain any API
related doco.
Hm, the C user manual and the RTEMS User Manual are different things?
