GDB/GDBSERVER and remote Thread Debugging

GDB/GDBSERVER and remote Thread Debugging

[Steffen Rumler]

Hello,

I'm looking for a stable GDB/GDBSERVER extension
suitable for (remote) Debugging multiple threads.

It should also possible to attach already running
threads.

Actually I'm working with the GDB 5.0, but
I have problems with it. Sometimes breakpoints
are not hit, sometimes all threads seem to
be hanging in the debugging case only.

Is there a stable extension for the GDB/GDBSERVER
providing thread debugging ?


Thank you for help

You will need to be working with GDB version 5.2 or newer to do thread
debugging.

Will this give thread debugging with GDBSERVER as well or does it still have
to be native GDB?

Probably not the answer you want, but MontaVista's GDB 5.2 version allows remote
thread debugging.  (We are in the process of releasing GDB 5.2 as an update
right now.  I don't know for sure when it will be released.)  I don't know if
the upstream (GNU version) supports that for PPC or not.  I know it does not for
SH, MIPS, and ARM.

[Mark Hatle]

Sorry, I was incorrect.  Remote thread debugging has not yet been pulled in by
the upstream GDB.  We have it internally, but it's not in GDB 5.2.  (Mind you
GDB 5.2 does have good local thread debugging.)
