And the headers clearly document that you must not call it with > NULL: I understand that, but that doesn't necessarily mean it should segfault if NULL is passed anyway. pthread_getname_np(thr, NULL, 16) returns EFAULT, but pthread_setname_np(thr, NULL) segfaults. That inconsistency in a corresponding pair of functions seems odd to me, hence the question if this is the intended result. -- Configure bugmail: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
