Subject: [PATCH v2 07/14] util: add API to fetch the current thread name
Date: Fri, 29 Aug 2025 19:03:47 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250829180354.2922145-8-berrange@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250829180354.2922145-1-berrange@redhat.com>
This will be used to include the thread name in error reports
in a later patch. It returns a const string stored in a thread
local to avoid memory allocation when it is called repeatedly
in a single thread. This makes the assumption that the thread
name is set at the very start of the thread, which is the case
when using qemu_thread_create.
