Re: MI thread commands

Hi

I didn't get a reply on this one so I thought I try again.

Another problem I have is the active thread. If the info thread command is issued
on the CLI gdb will indicate the selected thread with a '*' in front of it. Obviously
that's not possible with the mi. How can this information be returned? Is there
a way to add it to the -thread-list-all-threads, e.g. with a new field "active" only
present in the active thread? Or should it be omitted in this command and put
into a new/other mi command? e.g. the above mentioned -thread-info?

Thanks
