Subject: [PATCH 04/12] util: set the name for the 'main' thread
Date: Tue, 19 Aug 2025 21:27:00 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250819202708.1185594-5-berrange@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250819202708.1185594-1-berrange@redhat.com>
The default main thread name is undefined, so use a constructor to
explicitly set it to 'main'. This constructor is marked to run early
as the thread name is intended to be used in error reporting / logs
which may be triggered very early in QEMU execution.
Signed-off-by: Daniel P. Berrangé <berrange@redhat.com>
