Thread support currently does not work with core files. Note that,
in order to thread support to work on tru64, one need to allow GDB
to write in the core file (this is because the thread debug library
needs to write).
An obvious visible symptom of the problem is that "info threads" does
not list the various threads:
(gdb) info threads
* 1 <main task> 0x000003ff805c0918 in __nxm_thread_kill ()
from /usr/shlib/libpthread.so
One other noticeable consequence is that GDB generates some warnings
when using "info tasks":
(gdb) info tasks
warning: Could not find thread id from THREAD = 0x3ffc01b6000
warning: Could not find thread id from THREAD = 0x20000e2b4c0
ID TID P-ID Pri State Name
* 1 140051000 0 30 Runnable main_task
* 2 14005c000 1 30 Accept or Select Term my_t
(notice also how both tasks are marked as being the active task,
which cannot be true).
The problem is that the dec-thread module has not updated its thread list
after the core file got loaded. In fact, the list only gets resync'ed
at the end of each target-wait. The solution was to implement the
find_new_threads target_ops method.
gdb/ChangeLog:
Implement thread support with core files on alpha-tru64.
* dec-thread.c (dec_thread_find_new_threads): New function,
extracted from resync_thread_list.
(resync_thread_list): Add OPS parameter. Replace extracted-out
code by call to dec_thread_find_new_threads.
(dec_thread_wait): Update call to resync_thread_list.
(init_dec_thread_ops): Set dec_thread_ops.to_find_new_threads.
README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
