As an addition to my previous mail,
I tested KGDBoe again with same configuration and avoiding trapping.
This time when i did
(gdb)info thread
for 1st time itself it gave me error. To debug further I enabled debug
option
(gdb)set debug remote 1
and repeated info thread command. Following is the debug output
(gdb) info thread
Sending packet: $qfThreadInfo#bb...Sending packet:
$qfThreadInfo#bb...Sending packet: $qfThreadInfo#bb...Sending packet:
$qfThreadInfo#bb...Timed out.
Timed out.
Timed out.
Ignoring packet error, continuing...
and the test machine went in hang state.
- Thanks and Regards
