Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla at FreeBSD.org> has asked freebsd-kde (group)
<kde at FreeBSD.org> for maintainer-feedback:
Bug 290676: devel/qt6-base: Fix thread names on FreeBSD
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=290676



--- Description ---
QThreads allow programmers to set an OS-visible thread name for debugging and
viewing (e.g. with the H option in top) via QThread::setObjectName(). However,
this is not available on FreeBSD.

The attached patch adds the required platform #ifdefs to get thread names
working on FreeBSD.

You can test with any application that uses QThread's setObjectName() to set
the current thread name. mixxx-qt6 is one such example of an application in
ports that uses this.
