Subject: Multi-thread debug doesn't work with me :(
Date: Tue, 29 Aug 2006 13:47:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060829134727.34334.qmail@web26115.mail.ukl.yahoo.com> (raw)

Hello, 

I'm using gdb on windows to debug an application on an ARM linux platform, remotely, via serial link.

I manage to debug simple programs with success (step, step into, break, backtrace etc...), without any problems.

But, when I try to debug a process that create multiple pthreads, I cannot get into those threads and the debugger crashes:
- I connect to the board
- I set up a breakpoint in a function that will be executed by one of the thread (created by pthread_create)
- I launch the remote debug
- when the thread reaches the breakpoint, the debugger stops
- debugger is lost, it is impossible to have any information on the current line of the code or on any variables
- I "continue" the debug: the debugger crashes.

I did search on mailling list about this problem, but I could not find any help. 
The only messages I found cames from the year 2000 - 2003, I guess gdb did change a lot now.

If somebody have an idea, please... I don't know what to do.
