Also add the thread name of the UPnP thread.

Test Plan
  • Run pyrogenesis.
  • Run ps H -o 'tid comm' $(pidof pyrogenesis)
  • See that all threads are named.

It's not a portable function in nonstandard GNU extensions. So it's not guaranteed to be present.

  • Update the copyright year.
  • Replace glibc’s non-portable pthread_setname_np() with an implementation that will work on all Linux libc.

It'd be good to attach a comment, what's going there. Why do we need to open some file and which limitations do/did we have here. Why didn't we use the posix*_np function.

Can't we use TASK_COMM_LEN here?

153

|/proc/self/task//comm| = 21. On some platforms typeof(tid) = uint64_t, length of maximum possible id has 20 symbol length. It means that 32 isn't enough here.

157

We use const char* in its declaration, so we might fix it here.

157

It works only since Linux 2.6.33, maybe we need a comment about that.

This constant isn’t defined on my system, where do you get it from?

153

Oh, I wasn’t aware that pid_t could be 64-bit, I’ll fix that.

Out of curiosity, which platform is that?

In this case though, the %u four lines below would have to be changed too on this platform; is there a PRI* macro for pid_t?

I think I was wrong here, because I can't find that documentation page where I saw it. Maybe just use std::stringstream everywhere? Since it shouldn't be called often.

153

I don't know about these modifiers, I can suggest to use a uint64_t as a proper type for most possible cases or just use std::stringstream, which is safe and easier.
