Hello, all the POSIX synchronization objects use thread queues. Each thread queue has a name member. It would be nice to have a function to set this name. Unfortunately there is no POSIX, glibc, FreeBSD or QNX function to do this. Some IBM OS have a pthread_mutexattr_setname_np(). For threads glibc has a pthread_setname_np(). We have some options.
1. Offer no function to set the names (not really great for debugging and system diagnostics). 2. Add *_np() functions to Newlib pthread.h, e.g. pthread_mutex_setname_np(mtx, name), PTHREAD_MUTEX_NAMED_INITIALIZER_NP(name). 3. Add an RTEMS-specific header <rtems/pthread.h> with rtems_pthread_mutex_set_name(), etc. functions. -- Sebastian Huber, embedded brains GmbH Address : Dornierstr. 4, D-82178 Puchheim, Germany Phone : +49 89 189 47 41-16 Fax : +49 89 189 47 41-09 E-Mail : [ http://lists.rtems.org/mailman/listinfo/devel | sebastian.huber at embedded-brains.de ] PGP : Public key available on request.
