Subject: Switching to thread
Date: Fri, 09 May 2008 07:53:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <uej8bnccs.fsf@gnu.org> (raw)
Whenever GDB detects a new thread in the inferior, it announces it,
and also switches to that new thread. At least that's what I see in
GDB 6.8 for i686-pc-mingw32.
The announcements can be controlled by "set print thread-events", but
what about the switching to the new thread? can I tell GDB not to
switch to it, but rather stay with the one it was before, or is this
somehow hard-wired in the code?
The specific use case where this is important is interrupting an
inferior that appears to be hung with Ctrl-C: on Windows, this creates
a new thread which runs the SIGINT handler, but I don't normally want
to see this thread; instead, I want to know where is the mainline code
looping. Of course, "thread 1" is all I need to do, but it's easy to
forget, especially if you did a lot of debugging on something other
than Windows before that ;-)
Am I missing something?
