Hi all,
currently we are not able to debug a pthread linked application with gdb ...

Breakpoint 1 at 0x40091c
(gdb) run
Starting program: /home/teehab/DVB/Linux/Default/test2
[New Thread 1024 (LWP 380)]
Program received signal SIGTRAP, Trace/breakpoint trap.
[Switching to Thread 1024 (LWP 380)]
warning: Warning: GDB can't find the start of the function at
0x40080000.
GDB is unable to find the start of the function at 0x40080000
and thus can't determine the size of that function's stack frame.
This means that GDB may be unable to access that stack frame, or
the frames below it.
This problem is most likely caused by an invalid program counter or
stack pointer.
However, if you think GDB should simply search farther back
from 0x40080000 for code which looks like the beginning of a
function, you can increase the range of the search using the `set
heuristic-fence-post' command.
0x40080000 in ?? ()
When setting heuristic-fence-post to 20 the result is ...

Cannot access memory at address 0x4007fffc
The test application compiled with 'gcc test.c -lpthread -o test' :
#include <pthread.h>
#define MAX_THREAD 40
void* function(void*p)
{
while(1) printf("X%i",(int)p);
return 0;
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int i=0;
pthread_t threadID=-1;
for(i=0;i<MAX_THREAD;i++)
{
pthread_create(&threadID, NULL, function, (void*)i);
}
return 0;
}
Thanks for your help,
