not yet a review but according to the file gdb/CONTRIBUTE there is missing
ChangeLog entry.

And the attachment is base64-encoded with CR-LF (\r\n) there.  It is preferred
to inline the patch as text but be careful not to line-wrap it.  Otherwise
quoted-printable attachment is better (where newlines are implicit).  Or for
base64 at least make it LF.

It would be nice to see some changes in a testcase but it does not have to be.

You should also always run the testsuite (make check) before change and after
the change if there are no regressions.  In this case there are:

There is excessive space and also the square brackets [ ] should be around the
whole line:
      printf_unfiltered (_("[New %s %s]\n"), target_pid_to_str (ptid), name);

The change is incomplete:
(gdb) thread find .*
Thread 2 has target name 'threadit'
Thread 2 threadit has target id 'Thread 0x7ffff7807700 (LWP 31213)'
Thread 1 has target name 'threadit'
Thread 1 threadit has target id 'Thread 0x7ffff7fe5740 (LWP 31207)'

I believe there should be also (although it looks weird):
Thread 2 threadit has target name 'threadit'


Haven't you considered rather changing linux_nat_pid_to_str?

It could be supported also for gdbserver but to_thread_name is currently
already implemented only in linux-nat.c (linux_nat_thread_name) so it is not
a requirement for this patch.

There is no change between these lines, I do not understand the diff.

This pattern is used five times in your patch, and why don't we move it 
to a function? like,

const char *
thread_info_name (struct thread_info *ti)
{
   return ti->name ? ti->name : target_thread_name (ti);
}

and call this function when needed.

Thank you for you patch submission.  I do not see your name listed in 
gdb/MAINTAINERS -- do you have an assignment? If not, let us know and we 
can help you get started with the paperwork.

In general, I'd say the patch is definitely a feature we should consider 
adding. [Note: I am not a global maintainer.]

target_thread_name can return NULL. There's an added space typo in "[New 
%s ]".

This is a superfluous whitespace change. In general, we try to keep 
these types of changes in their own patches. It helps keep patches to 
the important changes.

name could be NULL.

And one more time with NULL from target_thread_name. This is also a 
change to the MI. It will definitely need the approval of an MI or 
global maintainer, as well as updated MI documentation and tests.

inferior_command looks like it could benefit from similar treatment. I 
wonder if there are other places?

Otherwise, running the test suite, this patch causes several regressions 
which will need fixing:
FAIL: gdb.threads/thread-find.exp: find thread id 6
FAIL: gdb.threads/thread-find.exp: find thread id 5
FAIL: gdb.threads/thread-find.exp: find thread id 4
FAIL: gdb.threads/thread-find.exp: find thread id 3
FAIL: gdb.threads/thread-find.exp: find thread id 2
FAIL: gdb.threads/thread-find.exp: find thread id 1
FAIL: gdb.threads/thread-find.exp: find lwp id 6

FAIL: gdb.threads/thread-find.exp: find lwp id 2
FAIL: gdb.threads/thread-find.exp: find lwp id 1
FAIL: gdb.threads/thread_events.exp: continue to threadfunc with 
messages enabled (saw 0, expected 1)

It appears that these simply need to be massaged to account for the 
thread name output, although in one case, "(null)" is output for the 
thread name.

Similar changes will need to be done for the manual as well (see, for 
example, section 4.10, "Debugging Programs with Multiple Threads," which 
contains several examples that could use updating).

[Mohsan Saleem]

Thanks for your kind response.

It is not an assignment. This is my ever first patch. Therefore, it contains to many bugs.
I will move similar lines to a function. I am trying to understanding how to write ChangeLog entry.

For "null" problem I was thinking to replace it with empty string(name = ""). Is it OK? 

Do I need to change testcase files *.exp if there are regressions in any?

Thanks

Then you will need a copyright assignment.

I can send you the form to begin the process, please contact me off-list

Why is "(null)" happenning there?  This will say how to deal with it.

It depends, you should check unpatched gdb.log -> patched gdb.log what are the
changes there.  Depending on the reason either improvide/fix your code patch
or update the expected text in the .exp files.
