I am quite new to gdb and I am looking into the gdb source code these days. I need some direction in reading the source code. I am trying to figure out how does gdb finds new threads and upadates its thread_db. What if a new thread is created and gdb doesn't know about it? I am also interested to know higher level overview of gdb algorithm. I tried to read the gdb internal document but the sections I was interested in were not described ( though the headings were there ). Thanks and regards Praveen
