LPCSTR szName; // Pointer to name (in user addr space).   DWORD dwThreadID; // Thread ID (-1=caller thread).   DWORD dwFlags; // Reserved for future use, must be zero.} THREADNAME_INFO;#pragma pack(pop)void SetThreadName( DWORD dwThreadID, char* threadName){   Sleep(10);   THREADNAME_INFO info;   info.dwType = 0x1000;   info.szName = threadName;   info.dwThreadID = dwThreadID;   info.dwFlags = 0;   __try   {      RaiseException( MS_VC_EXCEPTION, 0, sizeof(info)/sizeof(ULONG_PTR), (ULONG_PTR*)&info );   }   __except(EXCEPTION_EXECUTE_HANDLER)   {   }
