Subject: [PATCH] Fix build on macOS
Date: Tue, 10 Dec 2019 21:47:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191210214717.25680-1-tromey@adacore.com> (raw)
PR build/25268 points out that the build fails on macOS, because on
macOS the "pthread_setname_np" function takes a single argument.
This patch fixes the problem, by introducing a new template adapter
function that handles both styles of pthread_setname_np. This is a
technique I learned from Alexandre Oliva, and avoids the need for a
complicated autoconf check.
This change also meant moving the pthread_setname_np call to the
thread function, because macOS only permits setting the name of the
current thread. This means that there can be a brief window when gdb
will see the wrong name; but I think this is a minor concern.
Tested by rebuilding on x86-64 Fedora 30, and on macOS High Sierra.
On Linux I also debugged gdb to ensure that the thread names are still
set correctly.
