Hi,
In glibc since 2.12 available new pthread interfaces: 1. pthread_setname_np 2. pthread_getname_np
Thanks for pointing this. On MacOs these functions can not be used to name a specific thread but the current thread, so my preceding remark seems still valid.
You could always have the thread set up code handle setting the name in the thread's context before transferring control over to the user supplied function.
This is exactly what I meant when I said "to associate the setting of the name attribute to the thread_attributes class so that the implementation can set it at the start of the thread. " So that the setting can not be of the thread class as the thread will be already started.
