I ran into a problem with ports version of gdb and feeling a tad shaky
would appreciate any hints on resolving it. Fresh current on amd64 and
gdb port.
Considering a simple programm:
1 #include <stdio.h>
2 #include <pthread.h>
3
4 void *offshot(void *arg)
5 {
6 pthread_exit(0);
7 }
8
9 int main(void)
10 {
11 pthread_t c;
12 pthread_create(&c, 0, offshot, 0);
13 pthread_join(c, 0);
14 return 0;
15 }
When setting breakpoints in the code ran by the spawn thread (e.g.
break 6), gdb seem to have trouble making out thread call stacks and
shows some garbage.
Breaking on the main thread go just fine though.
I'm oblivious of the lengths gdb goes in such cases, but the only hint
i managed to come upon (being for stripped libpthread) seems dubious as
the base version of gdb copes just fine on the same object.
Would appreciate any ideas of clues on addressing this!
over,
V
