We are using a custom in-house toolchain I developed based on gcc 3.0.1 and the Montavista HHL 2.0 release--the gcc 2.95.3 release in HHL 2.0 lacks sufficient C++ support to build our codebase, which is primarily developed in M$ Visual C++. We have a mission-critical need for a ppc405 source level debugger (gdb) which can handle complex, threaded C++ applications. However, the HHL 2.0 release notes say the following: * gdb 5.0 gdb 5.0 included with HHL 2.0 does not support debugging multi-threaded (pthread) applications. What are the problem areas that prevent gdb 5.0 from debugging threaded applications on the ppc405? Is anyone on the list or within MontaVista willing to work with me to fix threading support in gdb? We are willing to do whatever it takes to get x86-workstation-quality gdb on the embedded ppc405 (and, tangentially, the sh4). Thanks! -Bryan -- Bryan Rittmeyer mailto:bryan@ixiacom.com ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
