You could probably maintain these: ThreadList newWindowsThreads; ThreadList deadWindowsThreads;
As just vectors of your handles: std::vector<HANDLE> newWindowsThreadHandles; std::vector<HANDLE> deadWindowsThreadHandles; Then in: bool ProcessWindows::UpdateThreadList (ThreadList &old_thread_list, ThreadList &new_thread_list) You can search the old_thread_list and see if any of these have handles that are in deadWindowsThreadHandles and if so don't copy them over into new_thread_list, and if they aren't do copy them over. Then you would create new windows threads (subclasses of lldb_private::Thread) for all items in newWindowsThreadHandles... There is no need to create any lldb_private::Thread subclasses objects until you have a stop that might use them for debugger purposes as the thread might be created and also die before you stop, so you would want to remove any items from newWindowsThreadHandles that are in deadWindowsThreadHandles or remove dead threads from newWindowsThreadHandles without adding them to deadWindowsThreadHandles if they already exist in newWindowsThreadHandles before a stop comes along... > On Nov 14, 2014, at 4:20 PM, Zachary Turner <ztur...@google.com> wrote: > > > > On Fri Nov 14 2014 at 4:13:17 PM <jing...@apple.com> wrote: > > > On Nov 14, 2014, at 3:46 PM, Zachary Turner <ztur...@google.com> wrote: > > > > It's possible, but Windows gives us a handle to the thread which has all > > privileges associated with it (in other words we can use it for just about > > anything), so it's considered better to use the handle windows gives us.
