Hello,
I'm looking to set custom names to std::threads started indirectly when using boost:asio library (on Linux operating system).

I have seen this stack trace for such thread by gdb:

pthread_cond_wait () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0
void boost::asio::detail::posix_event::wait<boost::asio::detail::conditionally_enabled_mutex::scoped_lock>(boost::asio::detail::conditionally_enabled_mutex::scoped_lock&) ()2
boost::asio::detail::conditionally_enabled_event::wait(boost::asio::detail::conditionally_enabled_mutex::scoped_lock&) ()
boost::asio::detail::scheduler::do_run_one(boost::asio::detail::conditionally_enabled_mutex::scoped_lock&, boost::asio::detail::scheduler_thread_info&, boost::system::error_code const&) ()
boost::asio::detail::scheduler::run(boost::system::error_code&) ()
boost::asio::detail::resolver_service_base::work_scheduler_runner::operator()() ()
boost::asio::detail::posix_thread::func<boost::asio::detail::resolver_service_base::work_scheduler_runner>::run() ()
boost_asio_detail_posix_thread_function ()
start_thread () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0
clone () from /lib64/libc.so.6

Setting names would be useful to debug my application behaviour in high
throughput conditions and to be able to easily check the CPU usage of each
thread using “top –H”.
Is there a way to do so?

Thanks
