I noticed that NSThread now allows setting the name of a thread for

some time).


Is this functionality exposed at the Posix level? Our current threading
code uses pthreads and I wouldn't want to rewrite it all just for names
on threads unless I have to, but it's tempting nonetheless…

No, it's an NSThread level concept. There's a request out for a name at the posix level.

When I saw "for debugging purposes," I mistakenly assumed that this means that the debugger would show the name.


OK, I'm still waiting then… maybe in 10.6 :(
