Subject: A target has-a 1:N threads?
Date: Thu, 09 Oct 2003 14:08:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3F856BF9.5020708@redhat.com> (raw)
Hello,
At present GDB maintains a thread-db that contains all the "threads"
known to GDB. The list is cross-target. That is, it can include both
LWPs from the lower "process layer" and "threads" from the higher
"thread layer".
I think the currently implicit target <-> thread relationship should be
made more explicit:
- thread_info should point back at it's target
- a target should let you iterate over its "threads"
This, I belive, will help clean-up the current tid:pid dance. A thread
would always know its target and hence thread operations would always be
applied at the correct level.
thoughts?
Andrew
