Curses! I've been reading your message like a set of last-minute nitpicks,
fixing things in my patch as i went along. I got to the named_thread->name
and overriding "thread name" part, then went ahead and fixed that too. Then
got to the end of the email and found out that you've done that already!
:-\ Good job, me...
Anyway, i've applied your patch. gdb compiles. threadname-setting
functionality works as expected: "thread name X" has precedence, "thread
name" (with no name) allows app-assigned name (if any) to be shown once again.
I've also applied my version of the patch. gdb also compiles.
threadname-setting functionality also works as expected. Therefore i'm
attaching my version, in case you find it useful.
I've only tested 32-bit version of gdb (hoping that none of the recent
changes touch anything architecture-dependent).
