Task name support

Note: This was originally posted on 27th February 2013 at http://forums.arm.com

Hi,

Is there any task name support in CMSIS-RTOS?
I need some way of calling the RTOS specific API function in my osThreadCreate() implementation which requires task name as a parameter. For task-aware debugging this is very useful.

osThreadCreate gets a pointer to osThreadDef_t, which defines the Thread function. osThreadDef_t may be changed to store also the name of the Thread function as ASCII. In this way you can pass the function name to the underlying RTOS.

Note: in most debuggers it is actually possible to obtain the symbol information. Having debug information along with the address of the thread function allows you to retrieve the thread name - so not need to store it in the image as ASCII text.
