[PATCH] iothread: Set the GSource "name" field
Posted by Fabiano Rosas 2 years, 5 months ago 
Having a name in the source helps with debugging core dumps when one
might not have access to TLS data to cross-reference AioContexts with
their addresses.

I think thread_name might be leaked if error here.  Thanks,

Oops, good catch. Better switch to g_autofree.

Yes, please.

And also make the iothread_init_gcontext(..., char *thread_name)
argument const char * to indicate that the name is owned by the caller
and not modified by iothread_init_gcontext().
