Hi, Vladislav, I'd prefer you use my_thread_set_name() everywhere, even in linux- or windows-only code. It's not performance critical, and it'd be much easier to grep to thread names if they all are set by the same function. Otherwise ok. On Jun 08, Vladislav Vaintroub wrote:

Use SetThreadDescription/pthread_setname_np to give threads a name.
