After adding support for setting and getting thread priorities I’ve found there’s one piece missing. Before a thread is started you can set its priority such that when it’s started it will start with this priority instead of the priority of the thread creating it.
At the moment the code lets this happen but does nothing with it. I have started adding code to fix this missing piece. The trouble I am having is that the wthreads.c implementation of GetThreadPriority() will simply return THREAD_PRIORITY_NORMAL if the thread hasn’t been started yet: even if a call to SetPriority has already been made. I was storing the priority value in the MonoThread structure, however, wthreads.c does not have visibility of this structure. I thought of putting it in MonoThreadInfo but I’m not sure at which point this structure comes into existence. The other place is within MonoThreadInternal which wthreads.c does see but this requires a change in Threads.cs which has a one-to-one field correspondence with the structure. The other changes work fine such that a thread (running with the right policy) will have its priority set at creation time. All that is missing is GetPriority reporting the correct value before start time.
