Hello, This modifies thread-db.c so that reports when libthread_db has been loaded and when it is being used vis: The load ... Loading libthread_db library "libthread_db.so.1" GNU gdb 2003-08-05-cvs Copyright 2003 Free Software Foundation, Inc. GDB is free software, covered by the GNU .... (gdb) The use ... (gdb) run Starting program: /home/cagney/PENDING/2003-08-05-warn-thread-db/N-x86_64-unknow n-linux-gnu/gdb/testsuite/gdb.threads/pthreads Threaded debugging using libthread_db enabled. [New Thread 182894192832 (LWP 23928)] [Switching to Thread 182894192832 (LWP 23928)] Thoughts? Perhaphs the enabled message should be in []? Should the "Loading" message come after the (C) notice, or the (C) put before the modules are initialized? Anyone know of a way of finding the exact actual libthread_db version so that can be printed as well? If that's resolved, ok for 6.0 or mainline? Andrew
