Thanks.  I'm mildly surprised this works at thread-announce time, since
I thought the thread had to be created before it could be given a name.
Maybe it is racy?  (FWIW it is fine if it is.)  Or maybe I'm mistaken
and there's a way to name a thread before pthread_create.

This should be "extern std::string thread_target_id_str (...);".

However, could this just be a method on thread_info?  I think that would
be preferable.  I think it's not much more work.

Are there spots calling target_pid_to_str that do not want to call the
new function?

thanks,
