Hi all,
I`m trying to debug a multi-threaded application using
gdbserver on the remote/target side and I`m having
some problems, the output I got is depicted below:
TARGET SIDE:(NORMAL OUTPUT)
--------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Note that till the last continue, nothing have been
written on the target`s console, it seems like gdb and
gdbserver are having problems and do restart the
application several times... and finally the main
thread is killed(!?).
And if I try info threads, I got this:
(gdb) info threads
warning: RMT ERROR : failed to get remote thread list
I`m using gdbserver5.2.1 (I tried the one from HHL-2.0
Journeyman and didn`t worked too) compiled by myself
using Mvista HHL 2.0 tools and gdb 5.2.1 on my i386.
Am I doing something wrong or remote thread debugging
is not supported by gdb? I have read something about
problems with multi-thread application debugging but I
thought that it may be OK at this time...
Could someone explain to me what`s happening?
I`ve attached de source of threadTest application on
this mail...
Any comment, insight and/or help will be very
appreciate,
thanks in advance,
Owen.
