Description Jason McGuiness 2020-12-29 17:38:38 UTC 
SUMMARY
It would be *extremely* useful if support for "pthread_setname_np()" were added to the "Threads" edit-box in the "Frame stack" tool-view. Note that gdb supports this with "info threads".

Asides:
1. "Frame stack": this is oddly named: surely it should be called "Stack frame" in English?
2. The "Threads" edit-box could do with some columns for the thread id, thread name and current function.
3. I'd like to see more than one stack-frame at a time. This design prevents me.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start debugging a program.
2. Interrupt the program.
3. Open the "Frame stack" (sic) tool-view. Observe the lack of thread names in the "Threads" edit-box.
4. Go to the "GDB" tool-view and enter the command "info threads". Observe the thread names.

OBSERVED RESULT
No thread names in "Frame stack/Threads".

EXPECTED RESULT
The thread names in the same edit box.
