how to set a threadname in MacOSX
I recommend the following:
[[NSThread currentThread] setName:@"My thread name"]; // For Cocoa pthread_setname_np("My thread name"); // For GDB.
(You'll need to include pthread.h)Works a treat in XCode 3.2.3 (at least for iPhone development)
Which version of Xcode are you using? Thread names are only supported in Mac OS X 10.6 and Xcode 3.2.
