ok, understood.
Another thing I've noticed at a couple of forums - people tend to "piggy-back" multiple [somewhat and sometime unrelated] questions on the same original thread. When this happens the thread "splits" and it's becoming harder [even for one person following/answering the thread] to follow issue(s) and for the others to find relative information searching.
I tried to note that to the posters when it does happen, but by then it's somewhat "late in the game".
It might be an idea to mention something in rules about that.
thanks for the kind words, btw.

Readers: Their only job is to read files. They just read data from the files and put them into a buffer. They are obviously I/O intensive.
Workers: These are CPU intensive. They do some computation... (5 Replies)

Dear admins,
it seems that some threads or even users have recently (~ 2 days or so) disappeared. Examples: giuliangiuseppe and greycells. The latter asked me for the solution I provided earlier this week.
What happened? Can you help?

pthread_setname_np
pthread_setname_np(3) Library Functions Manual pthread_setname_np(3)
NAME
pthread_setname_np - Changes the object name in the thread object for an existing thread.
LIBRARY
DECthreads POSIX 1003.1c Library (libpthread.so)
SYNOPSIS
#include <pthread.h>
int pthread_setname_np(
pthread_thread_t thread,
const char *name,
void *mbz);
PARAMETERS
Thread object whose object name is to be changed. Object name value to copy into the thread object. Reserved for future use. The value
must be zero (0).
DESCRIPTION
This routine changes the object name in the thread object specified by thread to the value specified by name. To set an existing thread's
object name, call this routine after creating the thread. However, with this approach your program must account for the possibility that
the target thread has already exited or has been canceled before this routine is called.
The object name is a C language string and provides an identifier that is meaningful to a person debugging a DECthreads-based multithreaded
application. The maximum number of characters in the object name is 31.
This routine contrasts with pthread_attr_setname_np, which changes the object name attribute in a thread attributes object that is used to
create a new thread.
RETURN VALUES
If an error condition occurs, this routine returns an integer value indicating the type of error. Possible return values are as follows:
Successful completion. The thread specified by thread does not exist. The length in characters of name exceeds 31. Insufficient memory
exists to create a copy of the object name string.
ERRORS
None
