[Pythonmac-SIG] Extensions for static versus frame

[Bob Ippolito]

Try your luck with this...  Undocumented calls, but I'm 99% sure it will 
work.  I'm pretty sure CPS gets linked in with Carbon, definitely does 
with Cocoa..

/* code below */

struct CPSProcessSerNum
{
   UInt32    lo;
   UInt32    hi;
};

typedef struct CPSProcessSerNum CPSProcessSerNum;
extern OSErr  CPSGetCurrentProcess( CPSProcessSerNum *psn);
extern OSErr  CPSSetProcessName ( CPSProcessSerNum *psn, char 
*processname );

void setMyName(void)
{
	CPSProcessSerNum PSN;
	CPSGetCurrentProcess(&PSN);
	CPSSetProcessName(&PSN,"foobar");
}

/* end code */
