Description

I would need to mark several threads that run a lot of time (minutes, even hours) as having minimum priority. I have not found anything in the threads proposal about this issue.

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Read the threads proposal first, focusing on how thread scheduling and atomics are specified. Define whether minimum-priority scheduling is in scope and what observable behavior would count as complete; the issue names no implementation files or tests, so these must be identified before work begins.
