maint set worker-threads

Control the number of worker threads that can be used by GDB. The
default is "unlimited", which lets GDB choose a number that is
reasonable. Currently worker threads are only used when demangling
the names of linker symbols.
maint set test-settings KIND
maint show test-settings KIND
A set of commands used by the testsuite for exercising the settings

@kindex maint set worker-threads
@kindex maint show worker-threads
@item maint set worker-threads
@item maint show worker-threads
Control the number of worker threads that may be used by @value{GDBN}.
On capable hosts, @value{GDBN} may use multiple threads to speed up
certain CPU-intensive operations, such as demangling symbol names.
While the number of threads used by @value{GDBN} may vary, this
command can be used to set an upper bound on this number. The default
is @code{unlimited}, which lets @value{GDBN} choose a reasonable
number. Note that this only controls worker threads started by
@value{GDBN} itself; libraries used by @value{GDBN} may start threads
of their own.
