Yes, it should be '_createThread'. I will fix it in the next version.

The purpose of the addSample function is to append stack frames to the
samples['data'] collection. While it could be implemented as a standalone
function, doing so would increase complexity due to shared properties
among threads such as pid, tid, and threadName. Although a decorator
could potentially address this, it would likely result in code that
is functionally and structurally similar. Alternatively, if addSample
were implemented as a separate function, the shared elements would need
to be repeatedly passed to the function.

Thanks, Preparing commit in series is new to me. I will try to fix
it in the next version.
