Summary: support thread names when switching
Product: gdb
Version: HEAD
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: threads
AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
ReportedBy: tromey@redhat.com
It would be nice if you could switch to a thread by name.
There are some caveats to this:
* It isn't clear how to make "thread apply" handle names properly
* "thread NAME" is ambiguous if NAME is also the name of a subcommand.
A new "thread switch" subcommand could remove this ambiguity.
* Multiple threads can have the same name; in fact this is normal on Linux.
