[libmicrohttpd] Setting microhttpd thread names

[Denis Dowling]

Hi All,

 

I am using libmicrohttpd in a multithreaded application. There are threads that libmicrohttpd starts, some worker threads and some output threads that block in disk writes.  When debugging an application like this I find it is useful to set names on each of the threads using the pthread_setname_np call. Libmicrohttpd sets all of its thread names to “libmicrohttpd”. I am using select dispatching so there is only one libmicrohttpd thread but given the thread handle is not exposed through the API I have no way of easily changing the thread names.

 

I have a hack working at the moment that sets the thread name in the access handler callback but this only get performed after a request have arrived. Anyone know a clean way to do this? If not is there any interest in some patches to add an API to set the thread names or get access to the libmicrohttpd thread handles?

 

Regards,

Denis
