GDB since commit 24cdb46e [1] can report and use these names. Add utility function SetThreadName(), which sends a thread name to the debugger. Use that: - to set the default thread name for main thread and newly created pthreads. - in pthread_setname_np() for user thread names. - for helper thread names in cygthread::create() - for helper threads which are created directly with CreateThread. Note that there can still be anonymous threads, created by system or injected DLLs. [1] https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;h=24cdb46e9f0a694b4fbc11085e094857f08c0419
