Currently the thread family of commands only prints the thread ID and PID. GDB also has access to the thread's name, which is often an easier way of quickly identifying a thread. This simple patch uses the same mechanism as `info threads' to get the name of a thread and add it to the thread identifier line when it's printed. I wrapped the name in []'s to offset it and make it visually distinct from the ()'s that wrap the other thread information. I'm not at all attached to this look, just looked best to me. Diff should be from current cvs. This is my first patch to GDB, if I messed something up don't hesitate to yell at me.
