Description (last modified by simonmar) (diff)

In programs with a substantial number of threads, the error messages like "indefinitely blocked" are not very helpful, because there is no indication as to which thread blocked. Having the source location of the 'fork' or so, would be much more helpful.

It sounds like it would be pretty easy to add the thread identifier (indeed, you can already get that info if you compile with -debug and enable RTS tracing with +RTS -D, look for the "resurrecting thread" message). Source code identifier sounds a little bit tougher though; does GHC even let us do that without making forkIO inlined?
