一般來說，Linux 平臺的 C/C++ 程序可以用 prctl() 或 pthreads 的 pthread_setname_np() 接口為一個線程設置線程名。prctl() 可以用于為當前線程設置線程名，pthread_setname_np() 則可以用于為當前進程的任意線程設置線程名。

prctl() 的函數聲明如下：

#include <sys/prctl.h>int prctl(int option, unsigned long arg2, unsigned long arg3,unsigned long arg4, unsigned long arg5);

pthread_setname_np() 的函數聲明如下：

#define _GNU_SOURCE /* See feature_test_macros(7) */#include <pthread.h>int pthread_setname_np(pthread_t thread, const char *name);int pthread_getname_np(pthread_t thread,char *name, size_t len);

如果想要通過 prctl() 為其它線程設置線程名，一般需要先將線程名放在某個地方，然后在目標線程中拿到線程名并設下去。最常見的還是，在線程啟動之前準備好線程名，新線程啟動之后，立即設置線程名。比如，像下面這樣：

#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <sys/prctl.h> #include <pthread.h>char *thread_name1 = nullptr; char *thread_name2 = nullptr;void* thread1(void* arg) {prctl(PR_SET_NAME, thread_name1);while (1) {printf("thread1\n");sleep(1000);} }void* thread2(void* arg) {while (1) {printf("thread2\n");sleep(1000);} }int main() {pthread_t th1, th2;void* retval = NULL;thread_name1 = "THREAD1";pthread_create(&th1, NULL, thread1, NULL);pthread_create(&th2, NULL, thread2, NULL);printf("main thread\n");pthread_join(th1, &retval);pthread_join(th2, &retval); }

曾經項目中遇到過一個設置線程名不生效的問題，最終同事查出來是因為設置的線程名太長導致的。

glibc 的 pthread_setname_np() 函數實現 (glibc 版本 2.34，代碼位于 glibc-2.34/nptl/pthread_setname.c) 如下：

可以看到，當設置的線程名長度超過 16 個字符時，直接返回失敗。當通過 pthread_setname_np() 為當前線程設置線程名時，通過調用 prctl() 實現，當給其它線程設置線程名時，則通過向 procfs 文件系統中，線程的 comm 文件中寫入線程名來實現。
