So, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ > I propose to change the function signatures on the next ABI bump to: int pthread_setname_np(pthread_t, const char * restrict format, ...) __printflike(2, 3); int pthread_attr_setname_np(pthread_attr_t *, const char * restrict format, ...*) __printflike(2, 3); This way we will keep API compat for all the current users and keep compiler checks for safe usage. Personally, I find it convenient to use it like pthread_setname_np(t[i], "thread %d, i) and I would like to keep using it.
