I was looking up something, and stumbled upon this code:

http://google.com/codesearch?q=kBrowserThreadNames

Where can I find the source for base::Thread?

(Thing is, in debugging something running under firefox.exe, I notice Gecko_IOThread is setting it’s thread name in some kind of way and wanted to look up how.)

    A quick Mozilla MXR lookup seems to indicate that it’s defined in mozilla/ipc/chromium/src/base/thread.h

    Edit:

    I was also curious about the presence of Chronium code in Mozilla so I googled a bit and found this on the blog of Benjamin Smedberg the commiter of the code:

    IPDL is a language which precisely
    describes the messages that can be
    passed between processes, and allows
    developers to define a state machine
    and error handling conditions for
    messages and resources shared across
    processes. IPDL layers on top of an
    IPC stack that Mozilla copied from the
    Chromium codebase
