Re: Debugging Multithreaded applications

[Neil Horman <nhorman@lvl7.com>]

If your friends debug problems stem from the fact that when he does things like run his application in gdb, the breakpoints and backtraces don't seem to be correct, then I think his problem, is that he is running a pre v5.1 copy of gdb.  If I remember correctly, gdb 5.1 added features to better handle the debugging of multithreaded applications.  If the above behavior sounds familiar, I'd try getting the latest GDB.  Hope that helps!
