Some systems do not provide the functionality. file: [8b9c6a4ff4] check-in: [b5430ac44f] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 4137 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

The name of the thread may only be set from the thread itself. So the
thread should read the property on start and set its name. file: [5f1546849f] check-in: [1494d3f6f1] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 4199 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

Casts are now written like types in variable declarations. file: [f624bdcb51] check-in: [4af49a13c3] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 4219 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

Forgot to add 2017, even though I already did quite some changes in
2017. file: [0dde3aa656] check-in: [44f45c2e35] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 4218 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

The old definition was quite unpredictable and too platform-specific.
The new one defines -1.0 as lowest priority that still schedules, 0.0 as
the normal priority (meaning the same as the main thread) and +1.0 as
the highest priority that still allows getting preempted. file: [89698eef26] check-in: [b4023e6bc0] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 3956 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

While at it, also update the mail address. file: [ecc9bb9249] check-in: [cec0f072f8] user: js, branch: 0.8, size: 3865 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

OF_NO_RETURN_FUNC is defined when __attribute__((__noreturn__)) is
supported for functions, whereas OF_NO_RETURN is only defined when it is
supported for both functions and methods. file: [c4125134ec] check-in: [ffb39d1df6] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 3861 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

This changes the return type to void, as the return type of a thread's
main depends on the threading implementation used. For pthreads, it adds
a wrapper function which returns NULL to avoid problems with bogus
return values. For WinAPI threads, the function is just casted, as bogus
return values don't seem to matter there. file: [b5d0945c6a] check-in: [52e02c06ca] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 3783 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]
