The spec was too good and I was directly able to follow the "gdbserver" code. Thanks. Why is it that the "thread support" for "remote debugging" has long remained as a paper issue ? What are the real hurdles stopping the implementation? How long it would take to add this support for an architecture, say i386. I am quite new to GDB internals. I am currently reading the "gdbint" manual. If any1 could throw light on the overall architecture of GDB ( I know itz a sort of overkill ) and issues involved in enabling thread support, I would be grateful.
