Naming conventions for threads?

Question

It\'s helpful to name threads so one can sort out which threads are doing what for diagnostic and debugging purposes.

Is there a particular naming convention for thr

Answer 1

I tend to approach naming threads the same as naming methods or variables. Pick something that concisely describes the process that the thread is responsible for. I don't think there's a lot of extra information that you can or should put into a thread-name. Expressive but terse is the primary goal.

The only convention might be to add an incremented suffix to threads that are part of a pool.
