    DOES THE PROBLEM AFFECT:
        OTHER (please specify)?
	Task name in VxWorks

    SYNOPSIS:
[Brief description of the problem]

    DESCRIPTION:
	How I can define task ( thread ) name during creation in
VxWorks?
 
	I succeded to give task name using ACE_thread_t argument in
spawn  function.
 
 	But my code runs on VxWorks and Windows XP and I didn't find
cross
          platform way ( without using #ifdef VXWORKS ) to solve this
problem

    SAMPLE FIX/WORKAROUND:

 	std::string thread_name("My Thread") ;
 
 	char*  p_thread_name = (char*)thread_name.c_str() ;
 
 	ACE_Thread_Manager::instance()->spawn ( 
 	                ACE_THR_FUNC( server) ,
	                       reinterpret_cast<void*>(thread_arg) ,
 	                       THR_NEW_LWP | THR_DEAMON 
 
 	#ifdef VXWORKS
 
 	                | VX_FP_TASK , &p_thread_name
 
 	#endif
 
 	                ) ;
 
 
 	In this way thread_name and p_thread_name is unused variables in
Windows XP.
 
 	May be somebody can advise portable solution?
