Subject: [PATCH v6 09/27] util: set the name for the 'main' thread on Windows
Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2026 15:24:50 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260211152508.732487-10-berrange@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260211152508.732487-1-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.
This is only done on Windows platforms, because on Linux (and possibly
other POSIX) changing the main thread name has a side effect of changing
the process name reported by tools like 'ps' which fetch from the file
/proc/self/task/tid/comm, expecting it to be the binary name.
The following patch will address POSIX platforms in a different way.
