Debugging thread applications with gdb 4.18-1 and libc6 2.1.2-0pre7
Hi,
it is inpossible to me debug (gdb 4.18) my thread application that base
on linuxthreads (libpthread from libc6 2.1.2-0pre7). gdb does not recognize
thread creation (pthread_create) and receive unknown signal :-( The gdb
output is the following:
Pgoram received signal ?, Unknown signal.
0x4004814a in sigsuspend() from /lib/libc.so.6
The application is really simple (from Pthread Programming,O'Reilly). Two
threads printf different text and the main application wait for them to
exit. The application works fine but i would like test the debugging
possibilities of Linux before start a bigger project that need thread debuging
functionality !
A look into the gdb documentation showed that gdb should support multiple
thread applications but why doesn't it work with my system configuration
(Debian GNU/Linux Potato; Kernel 2.2.10; non SMP) ?! I never tried this with
earlier versions of libraries or applications.
Any kind of help is welcome :-)
