[gentoo-dev] GDB & threads ?

[gentoo-dev] GDB & threads ?

[Marko Mikulicic]

Hello,

I have some strange problem debugging multi-threaded programs.
When debugging such a program with gdb (5.1.1) whenever a thread starts
it catches a signal SIG32 instead of showing "[New Thread whatever (LWP 
whatever)]". Every threading capability is disabled and signal handling
is incorrect.

It seems that gdb was compiled without pthread support.
I have tried gdb 5.1.1 on mandrake 8.1 and all works.

I use glibc 2.2.4 on mandrake and 2.2.5-r2 on gentoo.

Has anyone experienced this problem ?

Marko

YEEEEEEEES, MEEE!!!
I was thinking I was getting crazy...

gdb didn't work as usual... thread support was strange... can't breakpoint in 
threads :P

Slt!
