Hello,
i have the same problem and the same configuration (SUSE 9.2 and gdb6.2.1 -
update-> gdb 6.3 and QT 3.3.3).
A thread (QThread) does not start. If i interrupt the program and
continue, the thread will start.
Any idea yet ?
Markus

Hello
I'm currently try to debug a multithreaded application with gdb. It seems that
there are this threading problems described in the PROBLEMS document.
(It's a SuSE 9.2, but i installed gdb 6.3 in the hope, the bug is already
solved.)
Is there already a solution for that problem? Or is there a workaround?
kind regards
Tobias

Which problem, specifically, do you mean? What symptoms do you see?

If i try to debug an multithread application with gdb, the threads aren't
started. Without gdb all is working fine.
An minimal example program for Qt with qmake.
The regular output would be:

I tried the same with gdb 6.1, 6.2.1 and with 6.3. Everywhere the same
problem.
The example as attachement.

Your test works for me on Debian unstable. I can only assume that SuSE
has some change in glibc, libqt, or the kernel that caused this
problem; you may want to take it up with SuSE.

Yes, SuSE recently distributed a new kernel (2.6.5-7.111.5) which breaks gdb
with multithreaded apps. I worked around it by compiling my own more recent
kernel. I don't know if SuSE is aware of the problem.
All the best,
Duncan.

I built a new kernel, and it's working now. Thank you for this hint!
